It’s true what they say that every child starts out as a scientist. Every rock you find them chewing on, glass of water they knock over or time spent sorting Skittles by color is really a mini science experiment where they learn physics, biology, addition and subtraction. Bringing your child’s natural inclinations together with a thoughtful lesson as a parent and home school provider is fun and almost effortless at first.

Edji is an innovative site for annotating texts for collaborative learning that I just found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog. Edji lets users read a online text and then interact w/ it by: highlighting passages, annotate w/ text, images, or emojis, and, more. Educators can then view a "heat map" which shows highlighting being done in real-time that helps them differentiate instruction and assess student's understanding.

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 biggest reason teachers report for NOT liking cloud accounts has nothing to do with money, security, or privacy. It’s that they aren’t reliable. No matter how many redundancies are in place, if a student can’t access their cloud storage for a project they’re working on, if a teacher can’t get to lesson plan resources, or if a student started a project at school and can’t finish it at home, the excitement of learning melts away like ice cream on a hot day.
