From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog by Vicki Davis Follow @coolcatteacher on Twitter In this episode, we tackle a topic that's often whispered in the hallways of schools everywhere with a mix of disdain and necessity: worksheets. I'll admit that I have often expressed my own dislike of worksheets, so much so that I rarely use them myself. However, we can all take the worksheets we do have and transform them from mere busywork as we reimagine them into dynamic, engaging learning experiences.

What sets Wi-Fi 7 apart is its ability to reach speeds of up to 46 gigabits per second, compared with a max of 10Gbps on Wi-Fi 6E, the previous standard.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024

I recently attended one of the community meetings discussing whether or not a national open education policy is needed in the US.

But here are my quick takeaways from the meeting I did attend: There will likely be an effort to create a national open education policy. There were very few expressions of doubt about the need for a policy (beyond those I expressed).
