Most software in K–12 education today is cloud-based. Google and Microsoft 360 are two of the most popular cloud-based software options seen in schools. Corporations are also increasingly adopting these platforms, making it easier for students who used them in a school setting to adjust to the workforce. Even with their unique features, the similarities between the two programs drastically reduce the learning curve for users who switch between them.

From the moment schools shut down at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that many districts were ill-equipped to support their students from afar. They just weren’t ready for distance learning, and a big part of that was that too many students lacked adequate WiFi access to get to virtual class. Cases like 2020’s Cayla J. v.

With students coming from different backgrounds and socio-economic situations, one path doesn’t fit all. College readiness and access is often difficult, and students aren’t always sure how to embark upon their chosen career path.

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.

You can’t scare me, I have 2 daughters. My favorite literary quote used to be from Robert Frost “Two roads diverged in a wood”. Recently, my wife gave birth to our second daughter.

That is all true, but I am proud to share my Buncee story of my life.

Over time I have come to discovery that the flaws in the architecture of all social media platforms are irreparable and can’t be redeemed. As a thoughtful and reflective critic, I have no choice but place social media on the figurative supermarket tabloid rack where the National Enquirer and Weekly World News reside. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram—even LinkedIn are all media doomed because of one major fundamental flaw: they presume that the individual should be able to choose the information they

Undergraduate college enrollment fell again this spring, down nearly 5% from a year ago. That means 727,000 fewer students, according to new data from the National Student Clearinghouse. “That’s really dramatic,” says Doug Shapiro, who leads the clearinghouse’s research center.
