Toltemara / Shutterstock Despite the fact that any state or district can run their own virtual learning program, until now, many never offered this as a public school option to families. Of course, some did. Florida opened their virtual school in 1997. K12 online school began offering their full-time virtual school to states in 1999. Today they serve 29 states.

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.

It's that time of year again for my annual list of online summer learning opportunities or programs. This is especially prevalent w/ the COVID-19 " double whammy " that is happening w/ school closures around the world, economic downturn, and high possibility of summer learning loss for students. These programs help fill a gap that sometimes is lacking over the summer months and best of all can be done at the comfort from home.

As a child, I wasn’t an avid reader. It was only in college that I discovered a love for reading and realized what I had been missing. If you’re lucky enough to have bookworm at home, you may find them finishing one book and jumping to the next. In a time where students are at home instead of in the classroom, why not combine reading with science? Here are three kid-friendly, space-themed STEM books and the awesome science behind them.

TeachVid is an amazing online tool for learning foreign languages that I just found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog. TeachVid reminds me a tad like EDpuzzle where educators use interactive videos to assess student's learning. Also, educators can create a "virtual" classroom and create assignments that contain: videos, worksheets, etc. Finally, TeachVid makes it easy to flip a classroom or lesson and let student's learn at their own pace.

Tech tools often seem focused on core classroom subjects like math, science, and history.

Peergrade is an all-in-one peer assessment platform. The way this works is an educator creates an assignment and rubric while students upload their work to Peergrade. Peergrade then automatically and distributes that work to other students. The students then anonymously evaluate and assess their peer's work while providing constructive feedback. This helps students learn by "grading" and become effective communicators.
