I had the opportunity the learn about Dr. Reuven Feuerstein through Dr. Yvette Jackson at a National Urban Alliance conference almost 20 years ago. The biggest thing I took from that conference, that remains with me today, is that if learner potential is discussed, there is an assumption there is a limit of cap to what can be learned. If educators perceive their students as having a propensity for learning, there is no cap.

There are a lot of educational apps and games in the App Store and a great maths one is Dora is counting to 10. Children can learn the numbers 1 to 10 while playing a game with Dora, a clever mouse. The game is inspired by the “ Hejny method ” of teaching mathematics. This method says: Do you know how many windows there are in your house? Probably not by heart… but if you give it some thought, you will be able to come up with an answer.

While sitting and enjoying some much needed food, we spent some time time reflecting on the day.

Speaker: Andrew Cohen, Founder & CEO of Brainscape

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.

Only one of my co-workers had discussed any plans to discuss the proceedings.

I remember the days when I was not a very big believer in educational technology. For one, I saw the use of tools just as a means to become more efficient at delivering instruction. Man, could I rock a PowerPoint lecture. As Chris Lehmann says, “You deliver pizzas, not instruction.” Boy, did I have it all wrong. As I moved from the classroom to administration, I still saw technology from a mere delivery aspect.
