From dropping a pin into online texts, to teaching students the art of checklists, here’s how teachers are upping their edtech game.

Middle school teacher Lorena Germán discusses the need for open, honest classroom discussions about the country’s history.

When teachers tie writing instruction to what students are reading, learners begin with a more level playing field.

The fun little characters can add visual cues to student assignments and help you manage classroom routines.

Teachers can share detailed instructions ahead of time so students arrive at the lab ready to maximize their experiential learning.

Individualized education programs that focus on learner competencies enhance student growth and increase parental involvement.

Teachers can use stories and poems to boost students’ understanding of math and science concepts while giving them extra reading practice.

Young students love to talk, but harnessing that enthusiasm for learning requires some structure.

Tapping your school’s internal resources for professional development encourages teachers to share ideas that can improve student learning.
