We are witnessing tremendous changes in terms of technology in every domain. While the education sector is not particularly known as an early adopter of modern technology, we have seen definite improvements in this respect. The pandemic has opened the doors to the use of IoT solutions in the classroom as a sign of evolution from the occasional usage of technology in our lessons.

Virtual learning had existed for more than 20 years when the pandemic shifted all students and teachers online. This unprecedented experience opened many students up to the idea of learning remotely full time, and as a result, schools across the country are considering some virtual-only options for fall.

The daily car ride to her brick-and-mortar school used to fill Chloe with so much anxiety that it made her physically sick and caused her to miss a ton of classroom time. Soon she was falling behind on her schoolwork, but then she discovered Poudre Global Academy, a hybrid school in Fort Collins, Colo. Now that she can choose to go into a physical classroom only two days each week, her teachers say she is thriving.

Research and development (R&D) is an engine of innovation in many sectors but has been largely untapped in education. It is a powerful way to seed meaningful and lasting change for students and schools. Other sectors achieve incredible advances through R&D. In fact, we are beginning to see the other side of the pandemic because sustained R&D made it possible to develop a vaccine in record time.

While most schools plan for full in-person returns in the fall, plans are not 100 percent certain right now. Variables such as more contagious COVID strains, approval and availability of vaccines for children younger than 12, and local COVID outbreaks could force schools back to online learning for weeks at a time. Teachers and students learned a lot about online learning during the past 15 months–what works and what doesn’t, strategies to engage with one another, and how to form mea

It sounds at first like a typical assignment for a high school English class. Students at Belmont Hill School are asked to think of someone they encounter in their daily lives who might need a financial boost and record a short video essay about them and why they’re important in their lives. Then comes the unusual part: some of the students will be provided a $1,000 check to give to the person they select.

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.

We’ll be the first to tell educators that summer is their much-deserved break. Relaxation and rest come before all else. But, we also know teachers are dedicated to continual improvement and love to maximize their growth. Just because summer is here doesn’t mean teacher professional development has to stop. In fact, teachers can continue their progress on their own.

I think we are all very ready to call this school year a wrap. Taking time to rest and restore this summer is critical. But I first want to take a brief pause to reflect on this year while all of the emotions are still raw and fresh. While there are so many important topics to reflect on from this past year, I will stay focused on some powerful and perhaps unexpected wins that arose from our reliance on technology, and how I hope this will influence lesson design moving forward.

When MIT and Harvard University started edX nearly a decade ago, it was touted as a nonprofit alternative to for-profit online course providers. Today, the universities announced that they are selling edX to one of those for-profit providers for $800 million. edX had fallen behind rivals like Coursera, a similar platform founded by Stanford University professors, in fundraising and reach, though it still boasts 35 million users and more than 3,000 courses.

Yes, the brain is an incredible organ, she says, but it also “has firm limits on what it can do in terms of paying attention, remembering, staying focused, staying motivated and grasping abstract concept
