Truth be told, I always disliked history and government classes as a Kindergarten through undergraduate student. I found it dry, boring, irrelevant, and unimportant. I believe this was due to it all being about memorization. memorizing events and dates in history; memorizing the branches of government; memorizing states and their capitols. This type of learning reflects only remembering, the lowest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

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.

You probably found dozens of new apps over the holidays that you can’t wait to try out in your classes. They all sound educational, rigorous, and dynamic but the problem is there are far more than you can use. You may have decided to try one a week — or one a month — or some other method of doling them out in measurable quantities that won’t overwhelm you or students.

Afternoon is usually the time where my home wakes up to life. My 3 kids (ages 2, 5 and 8) have finished their noon nap, and after eating a small snack, they are up and ready for some mind or body challenging activity. When the weather is nice, their favorite activity by far is sports. My middle and older kids are practicing their climbing skills on our home made kids climbing wall, playing soccer or basketball, or just hanging around in the kids playground.
