K–12 schools depend on a functioning and performing IT infrastructure. In addition to the classic uses of IT, other areas of educational technology are becoming increasingly important at a rapid pace. Course materials and books are online, classes meet through web portals, and non-IT systems like building control and laboratory technology are beginning to shift to the IT department.

Digital literacy is one of the main skills that every person should have in the 21st century. This is because our communicating, working, studying, and — for some people — living migrates to the digital world. The main audience of the Internet and social media is youth; therefore, there is a point in teaching it some things about digital literacy. So let’s explore what students should know about it.

My pathway to college and a career was a narrow—and unlikely—success story. I attended low-performing elementary and middle schools in San Francisco, and no one in my family had ever gone to college. A middle school math teacher pushed me to go to a small citywide summer enrichment program that later provided me access to a scholarship at a selective private school—one that my family otherwise never could have afforded or even thought to send me to.

The typical way to think of higher education is as a straight line—one that leads from high school, to a college then to a job. But for so many college students, what actually happens is far messier and sporadic. Life happens. Studies get interrupted by important life events, like the birth of a child or a parent falling ill. Other workers might not go directly to college but might receive some training on the job, or maybe through a short program somewhere along the line.

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.
