Common Core tells us: New technologies have broadened and expanded the role that speaking and listening play in acquiring and sharing knowledge and have tightened their link to other forms of communication. Digital texts confront students with the potential for continually updated content and dynamically changing combinations of words, graphics, images, hyperlinks, and embedded video and audio.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Among the programming projects I ran into recently was one to calculate all of the combinations of letters one could make from a phone number. Companies do this sort of thing all the time. They generate the combinations and then look for words related to their business so they can use it as a mnemonic and help people remember their phone number. Probably a bigger deal before domain names than now but still useful.

Who knew, in March 2020, what challenges lay ahead for us as individuals, as a country and as a global community? Since then, the world, our values, the way we live, work and communicate have changed and we have all had to adapt and find new ways of doing things. This can feel unsettling – change can be difficult to manage – but it is also an exciting opportunity to be creative, to reimagine.

I saw an interesting question today on Twitter: Hey coding enthusiasts! In your opinion, what's the best laptop for students to learn how to code on? #edchat #edtechchat #pdchat — Mary Jo Madda (@MJMadda) September 30, 2021 My first response is that there is no definitive answer to that question. I thought about it for a while. One can learn to program by hooking a Raspberry Pi to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and firing up Thonny and learn Python.

Engaging students through interactive activities, discussions, feedback and AI-enhanced technologies resulted in improved academic performance compared to traditional lectures, lessons or readings, faculty concluded after collecting research into active learning. The research also found that effective active learning methods use not only hands-on and minds-on approaches, but also hearts-on, providing increased emotional and social support.

I am very excited to announce that Love Learning Stem is officially launching the 4th Grade NGSS Science Curriculum Growing Bundle! The goal was for it to get launched before it was completed so that teachers had the opportunity to purchase it before all of the components were added. Once all the resources have been added, the price goes up, so you won’t get the price cheaper than what it is right now!

One of the most important things we can teach our students, no matter what grade level or topic you teach, is how to ask good questions. When I think about this important topic, I can't help but consider how my teaching style has changed over the past 20 years. Today, when I think about how to support student centered learning in my classroom, I want to make sure that I am modeling good questions.

Kindness multiplies Kindness In this YouTube #short I tell the story of Peyton Manning. He tells the story of how in one game against Miami he lost his temper after what he considered was a bad call by the referee. He said he ran up to the ref and proceeded to yell, scream, and act like a fool over a call. The next morning he said he was embarrassed by his actions and contacted the league office to get his address in order to write a letter of apology.

Does your state have requirements that require studying landforms? Mine sure does! In fact, we have science and social studies standards that include landforms. The good news about this is how exciting it is to create booklets, complete STEM building challenges, and practice with flashcards, Boom cards, and task cards! A little background… many years ago one of my favorite beginning of the year projects with my third graders was to put together our landform booklets.

Kindness multiplies Kindness Kindness does not mean weakness. It takes disciple, self-control, and focus in order to be kind. I know my default mode is to be grumpy, curt, or rude. Anyone can choose to be kind. Think of kindness as a good habit that you are going to practice each day. Like any other habit the more you practice the habit the more it becomes ingrained in your personality.

Written by: Reagan Flowers, Ph.D. I recently attended a conference, and a loaded question raised from a member of the audience was, “When it comes to student attainment, which factor has the potential to hold a student back more? Is it ethnicity or socio-economic background? Their questions inspired me to challenge the audience to think about what it looks like when both play a major factor in student achievement and attainment.

Kindness multiplies Kindness Just because you are kind does not mean you are weak. In fact, it takes discipline, and self-control to be kind. You can express kindness to others by practicing simple activities. For example, compliment the people around you. Instead of saying a rude comment, try to encourage the people around you. Another way that you can express kindness is by taking a friend out to lunch and pick up the tab.

Q: To clarify, in addition to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, there’s another massive spending package moving simultaneously? . A: Yes! There’s actually two other moving pieces in play: reconciliation, which we’ve spent some time covering in the past, and the “regular” spending Congress controls through appropriations. And it’s the latter which is currently complicating matters for Congressional leaders.

Some students are eager to code robots and others want to grow a vegetable garden. Some dream about designing and building skyscrapers while others want to know why the night sky changes. All of these topics (and more) are a part of STEM - the investigation of S cience, T echnology, E ngineering, and M ath.
