Everything educators do for their students should, in some way, be able to help them succeed in the future. This includes all of the lesson plans they create, the tools they bring into their classrooms, and even the attitudes they show, themselves. It will take a lot for students to fully prepare for a world we’re not too sure of, but one thing is clear. Read on for more.
We understand that it is tremendously difficult for teachers to create custom lessons for each individual student, but we also fear that some students will be left behind if they’re not being taught in a way that works for them. Personalized learning is attainable—so long as educators take some certain steps and go about it in the right way.
Every week of the past month, we’ve been appearing at events, presenting at others, and I think we even attended one or two as guests. Now that the craziness of October is over, we can relax a little bit in November. No, wait. That’s not true. November is going to be just as crazy. Oh well, here’s a list of all the places where you can find us!
Since more school systems are transitioning toward offering some kind of CTE program for students in high school grades, it’s becoming even more important they do this the right way. In many places, career and technical education (CTE) is taking off in colleges and universities, but also coming into play even earlier than that by necessity.
Chances are your thoughts of traditional classrooms are different from how contemporary classrooms can—or at least should—be set up. Rows of desks and a chalkboard used to be staples but they don’t help prepare today’s kids for a hands-on future. They need collaboration, interaction, and active learning and it takes a different kind of classroom for this.
If you’ve never heard TeacherCast, now’s a good time to start. As the summer’s winding down (we’re sorry), it’s time for teachers to start getting ready for the new school year. There may be struggles. There may be kicking and screaming. And, there may be some overwhelmed feelings when it comes to procuring the best tech tools for students.
The fact is that not all students learn in the same ways. Some are visual learners. Others need to hear things multiple times before it sticks. And, still others require a hands-on component so they can learn by doing. There is no wrong way when it comes to students’ learning style preferences and 21st century teachers have taken notice of this.

In the past, we could rarely use our digital devices in the classroom. It was commonly believed that they distract students and also disturb a teacher’s work. Now more and more high school and university teachers allow using smartphones in class thus making the process of gaining new knowledge more interesting. How can we use smartphones during class or lectures?
