If you wait until you’re ready for personalized learning, you’ll never get started! Our antiquated, factory-style education system is failing our students. It’s also failing our teachers. We have more and more students each year struggling to find relevance and connections between what they do in school each day and their future hopes and dreams. Every day, hundreds of thousands of students walk into their school buildings hoping that this day will be the day that school connects with them, is r

Two of my students stared at me, and then at each other. Each held up a sheet of graph paper, but their graphs were different. And then, one of them asked the question I knew was coming. “But, who is right?” I looked at them and said, “You tell me.” The activity I had planned for that day involved showing a video of a man running around a baseball diamond in typical order: home, first, second, third, back to home.

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.

It’s still early in the year, which is often a good time to start fresh by doing some decluttering — and not just of our homes and workspaces. What about the gadgets we use daily: our computers, tablets, and phones?

One of the things that I have been trying to be really thoughtful of as of late, is what I put into my mind. I have become more thoughtful about the media I consume, the people I surround myself with, and how I spend my time. If those things are positive, my thoughts become positive. Physically, I know how drained I become when negative thoughts enter my mind, so I try to continuously be thoughtful of how the two (physical and mental) are so connected, and to try and stay as positive as possib

Some have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, and then there are those that might only have part of a body, say from the waist up, or only the face. There is also a humanoid robot with a ‘face’, ‘eyes’ and a ‘mouth’, and there are male and female ones: the males are called Androids and the females are known as Gynoids.
