Confession: I used to give homework packets over holiday breaks. Why? NOT because I read any research telling me to.

For almost as long as there have been widely-read academic blogs, Scott Eric Kaufman’s has been a vital, funny, brilliant voice on it. For those of us who have been blogging for 10 years or more, it’s almost certain that you’ve run across him online, and probably come away better for it. And even though he’s long since left higher ed, he will always be an important part of our community.

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.

This is the progression of technology integration at CCS lower school since I came on staff in January of 2004 as a part-time related arts computer teacher. We've come a long way baby! In the last few days of the first semester of the 2003-2004 school year I was given the opportunity to speak with the teacher that was leaving the school briefly before he left for Christmas break to understand what the curriculum expectations were for the stand alone computer classes in the elementary school.

Did you make mistakes when you were in school? I certainly did. In fact all of my classmates also did. Often we were scolded for our errors and sometimes we were even 'punished' for getting something wrong. One of my classmates was rapped across the wrist with a ruled because he was writing with his left hand (he was left handed). I remember being told off by my teacher for writing out the number eight wrongly in my exercise book.

I have been immersed in languages other than English and cultures other than mainstream American since I was 12. Most of my experience as an educator was as a Spanish teacher. My wife is from Spain. Our daughter, who will be born in May, will be fully bicultural and bilingual…biracial as well? I am not sure how the seemingly infinite demographers and statisticians would qualify her at this point in human history, I do not care either.
