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.

Will we ever not be here? I find myself asking this question. Here as, in battling against the ideology and the all too frequent reminders that somehow the lives of black and brown people do not hold the same human dignity and value as those of others.

I have a long-standing interest in modelling, with prior experience teaching Chemistry (atomic structure) at a high school in Taiwan high school. Around that time I became aware of a research project “exploring modelling integrated analogy-based teaching on students’ conceptual understanding and modelling competencies” which had a positive outcome on students’ performance.

June is National Internet Safety Month , thanks to a resolution passed in 2005 by the U.S. Senate. The goal is to raise awareness about online safety for all, with a special focus on kids ranging from tots to teens. Children are just as connected to the Internet as adults. This is a great list of internet cautions I got from an online efriend a few years ago.

Naraview is an interesting new site for Game Based Learning that I found out about from Richard Byrne's excellent blog. Naraview lets students make connections between topics a teacher selects a topic inside of Wikipedia. However, what makes Naraview so unique is that the educator can see the pathway each student uses from their starting topic to their finished pathway.
