Taking a screenshot is very helpful and is a tool that I use all of the time. Windows has a built in tool to allow you to take a screenshot of part or the whole screen. All you need to do is to press the windows, shirt and s keys all at the same time. If you want to see a video walk though, take a look at the video below.

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.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States has lost over 20 million jobs, which represents nearly 15% of American workforce. Skills training is a vital part of economic recovery—without skills training programs, the skills gap will only grow and we will continue to face a prolonged economic downturn. Career and technical education (CTE) programs play a big role in getting Americans back to work in stable and good-paying jobs, and current negotiations in D.C. will determine h

Hello Blog of Phyz world! I wrote a piece for the Talkin' Physics column in The Physics Teacher' s December 2020 issue. In the interest of sharing it more widely and outside of a paywall, below is the blog-ified version of that article. You can also find a pre-print PDF linked here. Inertia is an elusive concept in physics, and it is occasionally used to explain similar-seeming yet different concepts.

This landing is the 7th for this booster. BTW – SpaceX’s goal is to reuse boosters ten times. SpaceX and their engineering keep amazing me. I cannot wait to see the Starship do its big hop. For our students using the AI and Mobile Robotics course, think about what the booster is sensing and how much work it is doing to articulate the thrust (thank you, Raptor engine) to land on this small autonomous ship that is rolling and pitching in the ocean.
