The Guardian has a terrific interactive site about the global nature of World War I. It has interactive maps, original news reports, and videos exploring the war and its effects from many perspectives. Ten historians give a brief history of the war through global lenses in a video that takes the viewer through the war. My colleague and I put together a hyperdoc that takes students through the site and helps them understand the global nature of the war.

What does Blackness mean to you? My Black is colorful, quick-witted, dynamic, innovative and brilliant. My Blackness meant I grew up getting my hair straightened with a hot comb that would burn the tops of my ears if I didn't quickly and effectively hold my ears down. It meant my mom had a personal deep fryer and would make me catfish and french fries for breakfast before I went to school.

When I was 12, my family lived adjacent to a small farm. Though I was not old enough to work, the farms owner, Mr. Hall, hired me to man his roadside stand on weekends. Mr. Hall had one rule: no calculators. Technology wasnt his vibe. Math was my strong suit in school, but I struggled to tally the sums in my head. I weighed odd amounts of tomatoes, zucchini and peppers on a scale and frantically scribbled calculations on a notepad.

The Footprints That Rewrite History In the shifting gypsum sands of White Sands National Park in New Mexico, a series of fossilized human footprints have surfaced, casting a striking new light on the ingenuity of Ice Age inhabitants. These tracks, dated to approximately 22,000 years ago, provide the oldest known evidence of human transport technology—suggesting that long before the invention of the wheel, prehistoric peoples were building and using travois-like devices to move heavy loads

Imagine a classroom in which young students are excitedly discussing their future aspirations and a career in medicine feels like a tangible goal rather than a distant dream. Now, imagine that most of the students come from historically marginalized communities Black, Hispanic and Indigenous populations that disproportionately face higher rates of chronic illness, shorter life expectancies and poorer health outcomes.

Over a century of research shows evidence of improved student performance when retrieval practice (also called the testing effect) is used as a method of learning and assessment in the classroom.

AI readiness has emerged as a key focus area for forward-thinking educators. This approach goes beyond simply teaching students how to use AI tools; it aims to develop a comprehensive set of skills that will enable students to understand, critically evaluate and ethically engage with AI technologies.

For decades, anthropologists envisioned early Homo sapiens as creatures of the savanna—roaming the open landscapes of East Africa, honing their survival skills in vast, dry grasslands. But what if that story is incomplete? What if, in the dense, humid embrace of a rainforest, some of our earliest ancestors were not merely surviving, but thriving?

We argue that, even though this conceptualization is historically accurate, a dichotomous understanding no longer fully explains conflicts over climate policy.

Within a few decades, they built an empire that stretched from the Eurasian steppe to the heart of Central Europe, reshaping political landscapes and leaving an imprint on European history.

Active learning strategies have transformed K-12 classroom instruction, shifting away from passive lectures to interactive, student-centered learning experiences. But what exactly makes learning truly “active,” and why are educators embracing this approach? Research shows that active learning increases student performance, reduces failure rates, and fosters deeper critical thinking.
