By Christy S. Martin, Ed.D A recent plea on social media the other day caught my eye. A teacher was pouring her heart out. Exhausted and stressed, she admittedly was in tears after a trying week of never-ending days, trying to please everybody, maintain a safe environment, teach kids and catch up online. My heart went out to her as I thought of all the things an already overtasked job now entails.

If you want to effortlessly become an expert in a new language, you’re probably too late. That’s an opportunity largely reserved for children. And yet, adults regularly set out to study a second (or third, or fourth) language. They embark on the difficult journey for different reasons. Some want to gain better job prospects, others seek to socialize in new circles, while still others just want an educational way to entertain themselves.

“Bueller … Bueller … Bueller”. As you laugh to yourself at that classic scene, imagine the feeling most educators experienced when they quickly transitioned to emergency remote learning in the spring. When the use of webconferencing solutions exploded, many educators found themselves in that same predicament: feeling as though they were talking to a wall.

I was in EMS for 22 years before retiring due to a back injury. One of my most memorable experiences was responding to New York City as a Paramedic in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I will never forget that experience. What I saw and did are still with me, as is a type of asthma from breathing the dust.

We find ourselves working in some interesting places these days. Today, my office is the home of my great-grandparents in a small Minnesota town.

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!

We don’t suspend students too often in my school because it’s something I’m convinced doesn’t work. Years of research shows that.

The problem: I saw a national study , seared into my memory like a raw, fresh burn.

In the early 1960s, my younger brother, Carter, was placed in a “slow” track in school because of learning problems that had no name back then. In a fifth-grade science experiment with a homemade wooden maze and two hamsters, I tried to prove that his anti-seizure medication, not his lack of intelligence, had made him “slow.”. Before the experiment was complete, one of the hamsters escaped its cage for a few hours, but I was undeterred.

Our teachers and institutions are already using multiple platforms and tools to manage online education. But as we start to accept this as a new normal in education, the question has to be asked: Have we reached a stage in which simple video conferencing tools and document sharing platforms meet the need? Don’t we really need a better solution that addresses education in its entirety rather than being just minimal tools for calling and sharing files?

As an educator who began his exploration of educational technology experimenting with various forms of video instruction in 2006, and who wrote his dissertation on the technique and the associated cognitive implications, my relationship with the community, tools, and discussion around leveraging video as lecture device is a strong yet dissonant one.

A Dark Room is a simple click-to-play game that I have found to be a great social language context for a number of my groups, at different age levels. It starts with just having options to stoke a fire in a cabin, then other characters and village-building opportunities arise. The gameplay unfolds just by text on screen following your choices, so it's a good opportunity for following a narrative, "thinking with the eyes," visualizing, and having group members take turns and add thoughts.
