I get a lot of questions from readers about what tech ed resources I use in my classroom so I’m going to take a few days this summer to review them with you. Some are edited and/or written by members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, by tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do. All of them, I’ve found well-suited to the task of scaling and differentiating tech skills for age groups, scaffolding learning year-to-year, taking into account the perspectives and norms of

For Aspire Public Schools in Los Angeles, the turnaround took a couple of years. Coming back from the pandemic, the 11 charter schools serving about 4,400 students saw a steep drop in credentialed teachers sticking with their roles. So relying on a program at Alder Graduate School of Education that pays graduate students to work as teachers-in-training, Aspire built an internal pipeline of new educators.

In today’s classrooms, students aren’t just reading textbooks. They’re decoding digital information, scrolling through newsfeeds, and encountering AI-generated content. But while technology evolves, literacy instruction in many classrooms still centers on traditional skills. This mismatch can leave students unprepared to navigate the complexities of a multimodal world.

Kids aren’t as sneaky as they think they are. They do try, as Holly Distefano has seen in her middle school English language arts classes. When she poses a question to her seventh graders over her school’s learning platform and watches the live responses roll in, there are times when too many are suspiciously similar. That’s when she knows students are using an artificial intelligence tool to write an answer.

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.

Students light up when they create something meaningful, and every educator has seen that spark. Self-expression fuels learning, and creativity lies at the heart of the human experience. As AI rapidly reshapes software development, computer science (CS) education must move beyond syntax drills and algorithmic repetition. Coding alone isn’t enough; students must also learn to think systemically, design creatively and build with intention.

If you’re trying to get students to really think while they read, not just skim or restate facts, then reciprocal reading might be just the technique you’re looking for. It’s not flashy and doesn’t have any bells or whistles. But what it does is something that every teacher hopes for: it helps students take control of their own reading process.
