Every year, I make New Year resolutions and ignore them. I don’t promise to fulfill them. I don’t even check my progress and revise as needed.

This year, I’m trying something different: resolutions that aren’t quantified, that won’t take extra time from my too-busy schedule.

It has been quite awhile since I have written a post. I think I might be in a state of depression as a result of my addiction to television News shows and the recent development of an affliction that I refer to as “screen screaming”. Getting beyond the political turn of events of recent history, I also find myself frustrated and depressed over the slow pace of change in education that we have witnessed since the turn of the century.

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.

On December 14th, 2017, the United States FCC ended its policy of net neutrality. I’ve been writing about this topic for some time ( on balkanization ; on EDUCAUSE ; on Internet2 ; on ISTE and NMC ; on zero rating ) and now would like to pick up on one emergent theme. How should the education world respond to the demise of net neutrality? What are our possible strategies?
