The future is ultimately uncertain. We can never completely predict what will happen to the economy, the job market, and even society. But, there are some things that we know make sense when looking to the future. For one, if we, as a country, want to maintain our prominent role in science and technology discovery, we need to prepare adequately. Preparation lies in education.

Finishing a college degree is hard. It’s an endurance race: It takes determination to keep going, and a belief that it will all be worth it in the end. But what if the current generation of students is just less sold on needing a college degree than their parents are? That’s the case for one family outside of Detroit. The father, Paul Carr, is 47, and he’s pushing to finish a college degree he started right after high school but stopped pursuing when he found out his then-girlfriend was pregnant

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.

Donald E. Knuth famously said "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." The important word there is “premature.” Optimization is not a bad thing. It isn’t always required though. The joke is that a programmer will spend hours coding a solution to a problem that can be solved in minutes manually. Is that a bad thing? It really depends on the circumstances.

The start of a new year is a great time to think about the progress we have made so far this year and consider trying some different methods and tools in our classrooms. Taking time to reflect on what has worked, what we have not tried, and areas where we may be having some challenges is important. We want to continue to reflect and implement new strategies and tools that will benefit our students and transform learning.

Veteran technology teacher Ben Kelly is thankful that, after 18 years of teaching, his students still run into the room when it’s time for his class. But he cautions not to give too much credit to the technology itself. His 250 middle and high school students in the rural Caledonia Regional School in Moncton, New Brunswick, are using computers that are older than the students themselves.

Our teeth have important jobs. They help us to eat our food, which is the first step in digestion. They also help us to form words when we speak. So it is very important to keep our teeth healthy by brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash. But sometimes, even with brushing, our teeth can become damaged, leading to a cavity. Cavities are holes in the teeth.
