On an elementary school walk-through last fall, a colleague and I encountered a bulletin board ostensibly demonstrating students’ learning through crude drawings of European pilgrims and Native Americans. Each drawing included a short narrative about the experiences of that group during Westward Expansion. I saw my colleague, who is Osage, stop dead in her tracks.

Educational media is at an inflection point. As online learning companies compete for the attention and wallets of learners, players like MasterClass , Linked Learning , Cognotion and Harvard are investing in producing videos that are so beautiful they could be National Geographic documentaries or sitcom pilots. These efforts are not cheap. Harvard reportedly spends $75,000-$150,000 building each new MOOC, most of which goes towards video production costs.

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.

What is Creativity in Education? There are a lot of definitions of creativity in the education world today. They all basically say the same thing but aren’t very enlightening. Google defines it as “the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.” No one would argue with this but it doesn’t really help teachers understand how to instill something in our students that we may never have had in us.
