How Minecraft Teaches Reading, Writing and Problem Solving

Ask a Tech Teacher

This might include geology, geography, chemistry, or another topic. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. As with real life, players must determine what tools are available (both physical and psychological) and how to use them to achieve goals. Do you see what I’m doing?

Should you Teach Typing? And Does it Work?

Ask a Tech Teacher

It has become a familiar argument between those who believe children intuitively learn to type (“see them on smartphones and iPads–they don’t need help”) and those of us who believe instruction makes them better, faster. This topic that is close to my tech teacher soul.

Winds of change: using dust in Antarctic ice to understand past climates

Futurum

A key rule of physics is that heat energy moves from high-energy to low-energy areas. Through evaluating evidence and mapping out arguments, students can practice this important aspect of scientific communication. Understanding how to find and safely extract the elements needed for green technologies will play a key role in this shift.

Five Most Productive Years: What Happened and What’s Next

Stephen Wolfram

I’ve spent my life alternating between technology and basic science, progressively building a taller and taller tower of practical capabilities and intellectual concepts (and sharing what I’ve done with the world). I had begun my career in the 1970s as a teenager studying the frontiers of existing physics. Nine books. And unexpected.

The Latest from Our R&D Pipeline: Version 13.2 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Relativity also isn’t important in geography, but it is in astronomy. An instantaneous moment (or perhaps a single elementary time from our Physics Project )? In physics textbooks, it’s traditional to carefully distinguish absolute temperatures, measured in kelvins, from temperature scales, like degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
