For over two years, many schools, parents, students, and teachers have struggled with how to teach remotely, and then–when can we go back to in-person learning. The education system is comfortable with teaching students face-to-face. For hundreds of years, that’s how it’s been done, but done right, remote learning is a winner. Here’s EdTech’s take on using classroom tech to elevate remote learning: Classroom tech investments elevate remote learning.

When working on surveys for a large school district, I heard it all. We don’t trust you with our survey data. What did you do with last year’s survey? This survey takes too long. What am I supposed to do with this survey data? Often when these responses arise, it’s due to poor survey design, poor follow through, and a less-than-authentic approach – all of which can erode trust and lead to unsupported claims.

Schools are expected to keep students safe, but increasingly, their attempts to do so are instead putting students at risk. At least, that’s what’s suggested by a report released last week by the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit organization that’s taking a look at the impact of student surveillance. This latest report is a continuation of efforts to track monitoring software that keeps tabs on students' emails, messages, web searches and other information, ostensibly to catch th

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.

In Grade 1, children’s language skills develop rapidly. They learn to use more words and start putting them together to form simple sentences. As their vocabularies grow, they encounter more sight words. They are called ‘sight words’ because children should recognize and understand them as soon as they see them – without having to decode […].

When I started my career 10 years ago, teaching “grit” was all the rage, but that era of character education shortly met its well-deserved end (a topic for a different day). Similarly phased out have been phrases such as “21st-century skill-building,” “college-ready,” “positive behavior intervention system” and “data-driven instruction.”.
