Through the Midwest Teachers Institute , I offer four college-credit classes that teach how to blend technology with traditional lesson plans. They include all the ebooks, videos, and other resources required so you don’t spend any more than what is required to register for the class. Once you’re signed up, you prepare weekly material, chat with classmates, respond to class Discussion Boards and quizzes, and participate in a weekly video meeting.

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.
The First Step in Behavior Management: Building Rapport Part One This week we are jumping into classroom management, building rapport, behavior management, and discipline. We will cover it all! It’s a tough topic for many teachers. We are seeing more and more behavior issues in our schools, and they are even leading to some life and death events. How can we be part of the solution and not part of the problem?

The first week of school is different from all others. During this week, teachers and students alike spend time getting to know each other, become comfortable in the classroom where they’ll spend countless hours for the next nine months, and take time to reach a comfort level with leaving summer behind. I’ve gathered suggestions below from some of the leading education folks, those who are all about project-based learning rather than the application of pedagogy, to share with you.

Mathematics, a subject steeped in abstract concepts, often poses challenges to students, especially those in grades 5-10. But imagine a bridge that transformed this intricate maze into an interactive adventure.
Math Attax is a super-fun free mobile (iOS/Google Play) Math game that helps students w/ their basic Math skills (i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.). This is a 2 player game where students move their player up/down a grid while trying to shoot the correct answer to a equation. Also, they can freeze the other player and reset their score.
Knoword is a super fun Vocabulary game that I just found out about from Richard Byrne's blog. The way this works is definitions are given w/ the starting letter of the word while a timer counts down. The player tries to answer as many correct words by typing/spelling them correctly before the timer runs out. Best of all, there is a teacher portal where educators can create their own "word" packs to integrate w/ their curriculum as well as track student data.
