I had the opportunity to facilitate a workshop on design thinking for educators at the New Mexico Association for the Gifted Fall Institute. Here is a round-up of what we did.

This is my lecture given in a forensics class about collecting and analyzing fingerprints. It describes some of the history of fingerprinting, people involved in major discoveries, and how fingerprints are use in a forensic investigation. There is an embedded youtube video in the prezi and the powerpoint about IAFIS, the FBI’s database of fingerprints.

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.

In my school, every teacher assesses writing. Even in the tech lab, which is my purview, I provide mini-how-to-write lessons before tech projects that include writing. That’s not just for essays or reports but slideshows, blog posts, comments in forums, and more. I remind students of the five-paragraph essay, synonyms, plan-revise-edit-rewrite, persuasive essays, letter writing, or whatever fits the day’s lesson.

Somewhere in a country far far away a STEM education teacher is crying. Not out of laughter, but embarrassment. As STEM and STEAM Educators, we are always emphasizing communication skills with our students. It is just what we do. Every once and a while you see something that reminds you just how important good written communication skills are. A friend who runs a cloud services company shared this with me and we did have a chuckle (thanks Craig).

Blended Play is an excellent new site that I just found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog. Blended Play brings Game Based Learning to the classroom in a fun and easy way. All a teacher has to do is select the game (i.e. Mountain Climber, Viking Fleet, Sushi Take Over, Space Sale), add the questions, group the students into teams, and then display/project it on a board.

*Be sure to check out their latest updates!!! **Answerables iPad app available here !!! Answerables is a wonderful new innovative site/game that is perfect for Game Based Learning (or more accurate Game Based Learning meets Learning Management System). It reminds me of Second Life but geared more toward kids w/ their fantasy/SciFi environment. The game takes place in the 3D virtual world of Answerables on a planet called Proxima, where the native Ansibles (students) encounter an alien race.
