Educators know that for students to thrive in our constantly evolving world, what they learn must go beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. We must not only be willing to deliver these content areas in new ways, but also teach our students the skills they need to succeed academically and in life.

Why do weekly faculty meetings have to be the most dreaded part of a teacher’s week? The school day has just ended, there are three different assessments that need to be graded (×30.), and loved ones are heading home, expecting a coherent family member to share a meal with. An hour (or three) of sit-and-get is the last thing teachers need on a weekday afternoon.

The math lesson on variables began with a simple prompt. As Dan Rothstein, executive director of the Right Question Institute, tells the story: “The teacher presented the following equation: 24 = (smiley face) + (smiley face) + (smiley face).” Then, she asked her students to think of as many questions as they could about the equation. What did the students want to know about this expression?

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 week, I had the chance to guest host #Vedchat. The questions I chose revolve around how we are teaching our students to communicate in math class, how we are shifting math mindsets, how we are making learning math more visual, and how Flipgrid can be a tool to help us take our classroom to the next level. If you have not heard of #Vedchat before, it is a weekly slow chat powered by Flipgrid , so the conversation all happens through video.

When I first started teaching, I was blessed to have a grade level partner who shared everything with me. As an educator, I was extremely lucky to work beside someone who had a lot of experience in education and was willing to share their knowledge and wisdom with a brand new teacher. I was also lucky to be in a school where someone was teaching the same grade level.

We (rightfully) spend significant time and energy teaching kids to be aware of their digital footprints. Stories abound about momentary lapses of judgment leading to loss of employment or scholarships. Students tend to embrace these lessons because they care about reputation. Obviously, we must continue these important lessons; however, we must realize that digital citizenship encompasses other online behavior, too.

Remixing -- or combining different media to make or say something new -- is an essential 21st-century skill. It's fun to riff on existing work, add your own spin, and create something fresh. Through remixing, students not only create but also think in new ways as they dig into and explore the essence of authorship and meaning. When studying the visual arts -- whether in a traditional art class, a world history course, or other content area -- remixing activities can add creativity and critic
