Innovative educators know the importance of health, fitness, and tone to best serve students, staff, and families. There's great technology to help you do just that. I've tried a variety of devices including Fitbit, Oura ring, Whoop, and Amazon Halo. My top choice for what to use is the Amazon Halo View (with a screen) or Amazon Halo Band (no screen).

Inspiring Children. As a mother, I am *always* thinking of ways to inspire my daughters. Sometimes I feel like I am doing a great job at it; sometimes I feel defeated. During the less glamorous days, I have found that, good children’s books can help me fill in the gaps while I refuel my energy. If you are in need of “something” to inspire your children.

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.

Throughout one’s teaching career, there may be several times for which an educator might feel sympathy for a student. However, a caring teacher empathizes with students on almost a daily basis. It is important to understand the difference in these emotions and why empathy is such a vital characteristic in helping develop the whole child. What is Empathy?

Media literacy is something that I feel is very important, but I sometimes struggle with how to teach it in a meaningful way. The students seem to think that approaches so far have been corny. I've found that this course has some better resources (hopefully my students will find these less corny ??) PBS has a Media Literacy course for educators to develop and hone literacy skills across several forms of media and communication.

But what does it look like when there are many shooting stars all at once?When many of these rocks enter the upper atmosphere, they create meteor showers that impress people around the world. In order to create these beautiful displays, a variety of rocks ranging from debris in space to fragments of asteroids are pulled into Earth’s atmosphere, although most of the rocks are in

How much work does this person do on the 20 kg box to bring it from the bottom to the top of the ramp? Approach 1: Define the system as the box-only. Ignore the work done by the earth, because the problem asks only for the work done by the person on the box.

After speaking to so many STEM teachers, the most questions I receive are about collaborative group work in stem class. There are so many issues that can come with group work. You’ve experienced this if you’ve been in the STEM classroom. You know the issues, as well. Oftentimes you would see one or two students in each group sitting back and not actively participating in the work.

I’m honored to be invited to them, but I do suspect that four keynotes in six weeks suggest some “personal issues” in planning and saying “No.” Some of these were recorded, but I don’t believe than any of them are publicly available. The keynotes had a similar structure and themes.
