No one disagrees with the importance of the visual in communicating. The problem usually is creating it. Most teachers aren’t adept at matching colors, picking fonts and font sizes, and then laying everything out artistically. It’s much easier to use text with a few pictures tossed in and leave the artistry for the art teacher. When Microsoft Publisher came out a lifetime ago, it was the first major desktop publishing effort to blend layout, colors, and multimedia that was accessible

Fortunately, there is a long list of literature, articles and research that outline the importance of SEL and the positive impact that it can have on student development. Knowing this, teachers try to fit these lessons into their morning meetings, projects, special classes, birthday celebrations, snack times and lunch hours.

Years ago Jennifer Gonzalez wrote on her Cult of Pedagogy blog about different kinds of assessment rubrics. Reading about single-point rubrics was a big ah-ha moment for me. A single-point rubric breaks down an assignment into specific success criteria. Unlike analytic rubrics, which list levels for each criterion, a single-point rubric only outlines what success looks like.

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.

Canva’s video editor is useful, but it has its quirks. For example, you can have up to 50 audio tracks, but only one video track. I’m used to layering video tracks in other apps to show things like B-roll or videos over my shoulder, so this is a bit limiting. You can still layer videos in Canva, but instead of each video having its own track, you add the additional videos directly onto the same track as the base video.
