Seriously, you can’t. Try as you might, you’ll sooner or later need to consider it. Sooner, rather than later. Unless you already do, of course. What is the TPACK framework? For those of you lost in acronyms, I can assure you you already know it. TPACK is just a (rather) new name for something you’ve already been doing if you’re a teacher of any grade in any school nowadays.

Open up a new tab, and do a quick Google Search for “The Internet is full of…” I’m guessing your autocomplete looks similar to mine: “The Internet is full of lies.” “The Internet is full of false information.” “The Internet is full of jerks.” “The Internet is full of terrible people.” I wasn’t at all surprised. When I ask my fifth graders what they know about Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and SnapChat, I’m often met with stories about the dangers of cyberbullying or unavoidability of Internet tr

In Oct 2011, a few Stanford professors offered three online courses which were completely free. The strong public interest in these courses caught everyone by surprise. More than 100,000 people signed up—for each course. This led to a feeling of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) across higher education and Silicon Valley, both of whom invested huge amounts of capital and resources to launch free online courses without any concrete plans to recoup the costs (or get return on their investment).

He wasn’t looking for the typical fiction written for children, instead, he was looking for unique narratives — by writers of color and/or authors who can speak about social issues through their own experiences.

Thinking back to what teachers hated to use in the classroom when I was a young student, the only tools that really come to mind are colored chalk and overhead projectors.

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.

First they create a painting that has four distinct moods or variations on a theme. Next, they compose four matching musical pieces in Garageband. Then, they add conductive paint to their painting so that a Makey Makey can connect their image to a computer.

Each course will take place in Google Classroom and features practical tips for using Chromebooks regardless of the grade or subject that you teach.

This baby (6 weeks old at the time the picture was taken) seems to be accessing digital content using an iPad. But is he really? This is one of many evocative images of young children using technology that have been circulating on the web recently.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.
