As a student, I remember the stress of preparing for final exams. I spent hours reviewing notes that spanned an entire semester because it was all “fair game.” I never had a clear sense of what content would appear on the final. Sometimes I didn’t even know what the format of the final exam would be…essay, multiple choice, or short answer.

In my last post we explored the exceptional ways in which dyslexia enhances certain types of thinking. This week we’ll look at some best practices, including useful education technologies that are addressing the needs of dyslexic, and indeed other students with special learning needs. First, let’s remove the elephant from the room: identifying a child with dyslexia as “a dyslexic student” does them and their family nothing but good.

That’s why people, himself included, love smart speakers so much, he says. But smart speakers, such as the Amazon Echo Dot and the Google Home, which function almost like virtual assistants, come with a catch.

For all the teachers who are afraid, you are not alone. I have felt afraid walking on campus. I have felt afraid entering a school. Fleeting thoughts. Not here. Not now. Not us. These intrusive thoughts are neither productive nor personal. We wear them on our faces. They show up in our classrooms. As educators, we need to support our students and ourselves to be safe.

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.

Portable Document Format (PDF), is a widely used file type and, therefore, learning how to work with PDFs on a Chromebook is something every student should learn. Some of the things you can do with PDFs is, annotate them, split them, combine them, convert them to different formats, convert different files to PDFs, and lock and unlock them. In this post, I will introduce web apps that will allow you to do many things with PDFs.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.

The nation’s largest teacher union published a report that ranks charter school laws, and the news is predictable: unions continue to pick on public charter schools. I would argue that the charter law rankings from the National Education Association are not really about charter schools. If you read the report, you won’t see much information about how well charter schools serve students.
