I still remember the first time a student refused to step into my classroom. Initially ecstatic to start school, Truman was now red in the face from crying while my teaching assistant and I practically pried him off his mother’s leg.

But for Cambridge Public School ’s Computer Science Playground, the honor of most beloved activity fell in the other direction: taking laptops apart. “Throughout the year, we’re telling kids, ‘Don’t pop the keys off the keyboard,’” says Gina Roughton, assistant director of educational technology for the Massachusetts school district.

We’re in a time of discovery when it comes to teaching. There’s a budding field called the science of teaching and learning, where scholars are figuring out what works when it comes to educating students. But there’s a challenge in getting those findings to folks at the front of the classroom. A new book, “ Learning Innovation and the Future of Higher Education ,” looks at how to create systems that apply the science of learning into actual teaching.

He believes his company’s brand of digital textbooks beats anything Pearson, McGraw-Hill and their ilk can provide. To aid in that effort, the CEO of Top Hat has been forging alliances with smaller publishers, publishers whom Silagadze says haven’t turned their print content digital because of financial and logistical costs.

I should have known the minute my students tried to reroute me from my classroom. It was my first year of teaching. At the time, someone might hand you a box of chalk and a contract to read, but the rest of the rules you learn by breaking them. I learned, for example, that bulletin boards need to be updated every month, have a rubric and an exemplar on them, and display a small but notable range of tasks to showcase student mastery and teacher feedback.
