Christian Miraglia, Ask a Tech Teacher contributor, has some great ideas on teaching kids about Social Media Awareness: Over the last decade, there has been pressure in the K-12 learning environment to create classes that address everything from managing your money to various efforts to address cultural inequalities. The problem with including these classes, which all have good intentions, is that there is not enough time to address these subjects without taking away from core subjects.

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.

Districts across the country revise and rewrite their academic visions, goals, and strategic plans every year. Professional development (PD) for administrators is embedded, and if the district has a comprehensive strategy for teacher PD, best practices are implemented in every classroom. However, is this really what is happening nationwide, and are Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers included in the “trickle-down” process of PD?

We are just over two years into the pandemic for COVID-19, and my students are finally back in the classroom and learning in-person. Keeping my students motivated is still a challenge, and I’ve noticed an important change in their attitude to technology: Just using tech for activities and projects has not been inspiring my students like it did before the pandemic.

I spend a lot of time every week reading about current thinking in education. An article over at The Tech Edvocate caught my eye on early math.
