It is true that there has never been a time in human history where information and knowledge are as plentiful and readily accessible as they are today.

Fakebook is a tool from Classtools.net which allows users to create unreal Facebook profiles. Fakebook is an awesome tool to use with students in class. For instance, you can use it to "chart the plot of a book, the life of a character, a series of historical events, the debates and relationships between people, and so on!" Fakebook resembles Facebook except that it is not real.

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.

The problem with infrastructure is that it tends to be expensive. And slow to build. And hard to maintain. Oh, and also kind of boring. Most people only notice it when it collapses, like an old bridge. People with typical imaginations have trouble envisioning new infrastructure before it exists. They can grow so accustomed to their daily problems that they don’t pause to wonder whether a solution is possible.

Mathematics, a subject steeped in abstract concepts, often poses challenges to students, especially those in grades 5-10. But imagine a bridge that transformed this intricate maze into an interactive adventure.

She said that since August, COVID protocols have been manageable and work feels almost normal, but she shared that while she’s grateful and relieved, she regularly worries about things “getting bad again”—whether it’s another wave of COVID or some other disruption shutting schools down or putting undue burdens on staff and students.

An increasing number of teachers email me asking about ways to print large posters and infographics. While I am not an expert in printing but I can offer some helpful tips. The first thing to keep in mind is to always save your infographic in PDF format and not PNG format. PDFs lend themselves to high quality resolutions in print. Also, before you print your infographic make sure you choose 'Scale to fit' in the printing options.

Starting a STEM program, or teaching STEM for the first time can be overwhelming! There are so many factors to consider and pieces to organize. I found the greatest frustration came from money. For the first 3 years I taught STEM, my budget was ZERO- which made getting materials challenging. Very quickly I realized that the resources I wanted could easily be acquired through donations and my local recycling center.
