Will we ever not be here? I find myself asking this question. Here as, in battling against the ideology and the all too frequent reminders that somehow the lives of black and brown people do not hold the same human dignity and value as those of others. The casual disregard of black lives. The casual acceptance of systemic and structural racism. Yet again we find ourselves here.

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.

Around that time I became aware of a research project “exploring modelling integrated analogy-based teaching on students’ conceptual understanding and modelling competencies” which had a positive outcome on students’ performance.

June is National Internet Safety Month , thanks to a resolution passed in 2005 by the U.S. Senate.

Naraview is an interesting new site for Game Based Learning that I found out about from Richard Byrne's excellent blog. Naraview lets students make connections between topics a teacher selects a topic inside of Wikipedia. However, what makes Naraview so unique is that the educator can see the pathway each student uses from their starting topic to their finished pathway.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
