We’ve all been there. The room, half empty. Little to no conversation happening between the seated rows. Most eyes fixed on laptop screens, phone screens, projector screen, likely checking email or “checking email.” Everyone waiting for the session to begin in hopes of getting a nugget of information that makes the workshop registration worth the investment.

As teachers move from a “teacher-lecturer” model of education to a “teacher-guide”, peer-to-peer learning–acquiring knowledge from a select peer group–has become a popular education strategy. Often, it is a less stressful way to support the long-held goal of developing lifelong learners. As a pedagogical strategy, it can be more effective in reinforcing critical thinking, cooperation, creativity, and problem solving–traits that are difficult to teach but essential for students

I live in the Midwest, and if you could see my garden now, well…let’s just say, there is nothing but brown stalks, and wet muddy leaves beneath the snow. If I told you that in a few months, my yard would be resplendent with daffodils, hyacinth, bleeding heart and bee balm, you couldn’t tell from what you see now. But I know it’s coming.

After a year and a half of living and working in a pandemic, the one thing that I have totally abandoned is the belief that institutions of higher learning are places where learning at a higher level universally occurs. This pandemic has taught me that we must fight to uphold the integrity of the academy and be prepared to demonstrate the value we provide to societies.

Prior to the pandemic, many schools, colleges, and universities had indoor air quality challenges, but the past 18 months has brought a heightened awareness to a growing problem. Forty percent of the nation’s school systems need to replace at least half of their HVAC systems, according to a 2020 study by the Government Accountability Office. Proper ventilation is a key prevention strategy for mitigating pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 , as well as reducing dust, allergens, and VOCs to improve healt

Toddlers appeared to brush longer on the nights they received more praise from their parents, a University of Pennsylvania study found. Credit: Jackie Mader/The Hechinger Report. It’s a challenge to raise a child who is motivated to do things that aren’t always fun. Why is it that some kids have the persistence to read through the boring passages in a novel, do their math homework or practice piano every day?

Strict due dates are ingrained in all levels of education but some educators find when they get rid of them there’s less stress and more learning.
Speaker: Andrew Cohen, Founder & CEO of Brainscape
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.

Here’s a conversation I overhead in my New York City apartment building this week: “Mom, are we going back to school after Christmas break?”. The parent sighed, shrugged and gave away nothing, because there is no certainty at all, not anywhere, really. Remote learning has serious drawbacks; researchers have already warned that devastating achievement disparities that are only worsening.

LINDSAY, Calif. — Una reciente mañana de otoño en Washington Elementary, un niño, sentado con cinco compañeros alrededor de una mesa, agarraba una tableta mientras construía un muñeco de nieve digital — una actividad refrescante dado que afuera de su aula con aire acondicionado hacía un calor de 85 grados. Su vecina, una niña con una cola de caballo amarrada con una cinta roja, usaba su dedo índice para manipular figuras en su pantalla.

Scott County School District 1 in Austin, Indiana reopened for the fall semester with optional face masks, less distancing in classrooms and no remote option. This story also appeared in COVID-19 Data Dispatch. District leaders quickly realized they had relaxed the Covid safety rules too soon. Within the month of August, the district would record 65 Covid-19 cases among students — more than the number of cases recorded in the entire 2020-21 school year , according to Deana Broadus, the district’

Hack Education, as perhaps you've noticed, has been on hiatus for a while. What with the pandemic, the death of my son, and the publication of Teaching Machines , I really couldn't continue to pay attention to the day-to-day nonsense of ed-tech. (The book, in fairness, did have me focused on some of the mid-20th century nonsense.) And after taking a long break from "current events," I am not quite sure I'm ready to face any of it again.

As we wrapped up 2020, we thought for sure that 2021 might bring us a reprieve from pandemic learning. Well, it did–but it also didn’t. Virtual and hybrid learning continued into the spring, but then classrooms welcomed back students for full-time in-person learning in the fall. Many silver linings emerged and digital learning cemented itself as a “must have” in schools.
