Ask a Tech Teacher

I get a lot of questions from readers about what tech ed resources I use in my classroom so I’m going to take a few days this summer to review them with you. Some are edited and/or written by members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, by tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do. All of them, I’ve found well-suited to the task of scaling and differentiating tech skills for age groups, scaffolding learning year-to-year, taking into account the perspectives and norms of

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.

Books have the power to pull us in, gather us up, toss us about and leave us changed. Sometimes the changes are uplifting and inspiring in nature. Other times, they are disconcerting, challenging the way we look at the world. I have this memory of making lunch one summer day about 15 years ago. I found myself digging every shred of tuna out of the can.

Arizona needs more teachers badly. So badly, it seems, that the state is no longer requiring some educators to have a bachelor’s degree before they enter the classroom—merely that they be working toward one. Arizona Gov. Doug Dacey heralded the changes as a way to ease the state’s teacher shortage when he signed them into law earlier this month. Under SB 1159 , schools can recruit people without college degrees to their “school-based preparation programs” so long as candidates are enrolled in ba

Asian American academic success is impressive. Every year, the vast majority of national spelling bee finalists are South Asian American. Asian American students on the Harvard campus have, on average, higher SAT scores than their white peers. Nearly three-fourths of students at New York City’s elite Stuyvesant High School are Asian American. When we see these outcomes, it’s easy to make the mistake of assuming that these students’ families value educational success more than other families do.
