Ask a Tech Teacher

Teachers have known for decades that ‘summer learning loss’ is a reality. Studies vary on how much knowledge students lose during the summer months–some say up to two months of reading and math skills –and results are heavily-dependent upon demographics, but the loss is real. To prevent this, teachers try approaches such as summer book reports, but students complain they intrude on their summer time.

This week marks one year since an unspeakable act of violence was carried out in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. One year since a gunman stole the lives of 19 fourth graders and two teachers at Robb Elementary. One year since the name “Uvalde” came to represent much more than a town, added to a list that no one wants to be on. One year since a community in southern Texas was marked forever.

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.

Full Set of Rings of Saturn. Credit: Wikimedia Commons Saturn’s rings are one of the most iconic features of the planet, but their origin and age have long been a mystery. A recent study by a team of scientists led by Sascha Kempf from the University of Colorado at Boulder has shed new light on these questions. The researchers used data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft to study the rate at which dust accumulates on the rings.
