The axiom “less is more” is confirmed daily in our Information Age. In education, the abundance of novel tools, opportunities, and concepts runs the risk of overburdening already stretched teachers and processes. This is why simplification should be a central principle for academic institutions, especially with hybrid and remote learning. Forward-thinking administrators and leaders aware of this seek solutions that fit harmoniously in their digital ecosystem. It is not enough that solutions address their challenges and strategic goals, they should also be comfortable for educators and student ..read more

What is culturally responsive teaching and how to implement it in your classroom?
NEO | Education and E-learning blog
by Charlie Fletcher

Being a teacher has never been only about teaching students things like math, science, and history. A teacher is a mentor, a counselor, an influencer, and even a therapist. In addition to teaching students about certain subjects, they also guide them, inspire them, shape their minds, and support their growth.  Unfortunately, the problem for years now has been generalized teaching practices that don’t take each student’s identity and experiences into consideration. Instead, many teachers support all their students equally so as to be fair, but this ignores the fact that not all students l ..read more

How to spot fake news? These two words have trended in the last decade as a way of describing news and information that is false. It is not as simple as that, though. Other words like misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, satire, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories also describe something very similar and have been around for much longer. They do not, however, convey that snappy dismissive air conjured by the words “fake news.” To understand this trend, it is important to realize that there is no one description of what it is. In reality, fake news is three separate things: Stories that ar ..read more

Most young adults and older professionals today rely heavily on technology.

Every teacher was once a student. When remembering those years on the other side of the teacher’s desk, we know that students don’t learn when they don’t like their teachers. Positive student-teacher relationships, as Rita Pierson reminds us, it’s all about building an adequate learning environment where teachers raise students’ self-esteem and apologize when needed. Student-teacher relationships have long-lasting implications for students’ academic and social development and contribute to higher achievement levels. When teachers choose to be guides instead of critics, students show trust, ar ..read more

Teacher collaboration has always been essential, but even more so during the past two school years as we faced new challenges in our practice.

How to support your students’ executive functioning skills with the help of your LMS
NEO | Education and E-learning blog
by Diana Z

Academic achievement is the final goal of a student’s educational journey. However, to reach optimal results, students need several skills such as critical thinking, planning, self-monitoring, and problem-solving that they develop throughout their educational process.  Although schools provide all the ingredients for student development, a wider focus should be placed on supporting these executive functioning skills in order to encourage autonomous learners and, eventually, successful adults.  That’s why the education system needs to understand that children are not born with these ..read more
