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.

When Paula de Santiago watches the music video for the song “5 Sentidos” by Spanish boy band Dvicio, she hears more than just an ear-worm chorus of “solo contigo” and sees more than just a wedding party that escalates into a cake fight among the bandmates and actors. Instead, de Santiago sees a vocabulary lesson her college-level Spanish language classes won’t soon forget, bringing new context to terms like “borracho” (drunk) and the chorus (which translates to “only with you”).

Traditional teaching methods are fading, replaced with digital learning initiatives and mobile computing. Embracing this tech-friendly environment is more complicated than finding room in the budget for new laptops, Chromebooks, or iPads. IT administrators and schools as a whole need to know how new devices will impact an existing school network, and what work needs to be done to ensure the network grows along with, or faster than, new digital learning demands.

In June, the city of Memphis, Tennessee, lost funding for 1,000 pre-K slots due to an expiring federal grant. Under pressure to invest in education, Mayor Jim Strickland announced the city would commit $6 million toward pre-K funding, though that amount would not completely offset the lost federal funds.
