As many of you know, I have two wonderful children–one a CDR in the Navy and one a SFC In the Army. I also have a long family history of relatives who fought for America. So today, I salute them and all others who have put their lives and dreams aside to support America’s values and principles. I can’t say it better than these videos: November 11th is also Remembrance Day in Canada.

Parents of a certain age have had to adapt to their kids doing most of their homework on a Chromebook instead of on paper. But the shift highlights how modern K–12 schools are dependent on network-accessed apps and data for learning and administration purposes. To get more bang for their IT buck, many school districts have been turning to cloud solutions to host applications and safeguard data.

In 2024, if you want to make a dinner reservation, you’re very likely to open an app on your phone, input a few details and then filter your results to see which restaurants have availability for your party size, date and time.

For too long, incoming students not deemed fully prepared to do college-level work have had to enter a remediation track intended to teach foundational concepts that institutions assume students haven’t learned yet. It is a logical premise with a significant flaw: This approach to remediation simply does not work. Institutions funnel hundreds of thousands of first-year students into math and English remedial courses every year, including 40 percent of students at public 2-year colleges.

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.
