Part of the December 2020 STEM Resources Digital Calendar ! This year video conferencing has been the way many teachers deliver instruction. This is very different than in class instruction. If you miss the level of engagement and presence in your physical classes, then you will love using the three tools below. These tools allow multiple ways for all students to participate, are amazing assessment tools, and require no registration for students.

DECEMBER 15, 2020

December invites us to step back to reflect on the events, learnings, and open questions of 2020. The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, and the resulting protests, sparked an overdue reckoning on race across the nation. Conversations about equity and racial justice within education and organizational commitments to anti-racism were ubiquitous this spring, but that momentum has stalled for many white allies.

When people think about classroom diversity, they often do so with regards to students: how each student has a unique background, how diverse their interests are, or how their learning needs differ from one to another. But the diversity of each classroom is given by the teachers as well, and what tools each of them chooses to include (or not) in the instructional process.

Even in face-to-face instruction, classroom management presents inherent challenges for educators. It can be hard to get students on the same page while tending to the unique needs of each learner. All of that becomes more difficult in the learn-at-home world. A recent USA Today/Ipsos poll found that 62 percent of teachers say they haven’t been able to do their jobs properly since remote teaching started.

This Fall, Education Elements hosted our first ever virtual Distance Learning Road Race. The rationale was simple - we wanted to create a space to promote mental and physical wellness, model best practices for virtual community building, and give back to our partners and community. Admittedly, the ‘race’ was more of a running challenge, encouraging participants to commit to running a final distance of their choosing and engage with us over six weeks of challenges between September to November.

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.

From my memories as a child, my older sister would listen to ABBA non-stop. I am not sure I liked it, but as I grew up and watched movies like Mamma Mia, I was amazed at how many of the songs that I not only knew but were seemingly burnt into my brain. For many parts of my life, I associate music and movies with moments. For example, during my first break-up, I was obsessed with the song “How Can I Fall” by Breathe (so, so, so 80s).

Even before the pandemic, more than 25 million Americans lacked access to broadband internet. But even when they can get online, students of color and low-income families were more likely to share a single device. Today, when strong internet connectivity is all but required for learning, such gaps can serve as insurmountable barriers to learning.
