This is my third summer offering maker education summer camps as part of a bigger program at a local school. During mornings (9 to 12 with a half hour recess), campers, grades Kindergarten through 6th grade, can choose from one of four enrichment classes: art, drama, games, foreign languages, computers, and in my case, maker camps. During the afternoons, all campers get together for typical camp activities – fun and games, field trips, water sports, silly competitions.

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!

Mathigon is a fantastic new site that I just found out about from the amazing educator Kelly Tenkely. Mathagon is an innovative interactive textbook that reminds me of something an educator would create in iBooks Author. This textbook acts as a personal tutor that lets students actually interact w/ problems, shapes, equations, etc to better learn concepts.

Annual #NYCSchoolsTech Summit For many of us, conferences help us connect with the faces behind the minds we’ve interacted with throughout the year.

My colleague Jared Fox shared with me conference tips from a professional business speaker, podcaster and host named Robbie Samuels.
