Veteran multimedia producer and professor Lynn Rogoff has long experimented with ways to bring history alive for young people. So as she saw the rise of AI tools, she was quick to try them. In her latest film, “Bird Woman: Sacagawea,” viewers not only watch the story of Sacagawea — the young woman from the Soshone tribe who helped guide the Lewis and Clark Expedition back in 1804 — they can chat with her and ask questions about her life.

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.

These homemade bouncy balls are so easy to make, and you only need a few supplies. I’ll admit, they don’t bounce like the super bouncy balls that you buy at the store. But they’re still really fun to play with and make! (DIY always makes it better, right?!) We were recently making this easy slime recipe at home. Many of the ingredients you use for slime are the same as this bouncy ball.
