Taking regular breaks may help to support learning, says John Sweller, a leading learning science researcher. Sweller says the brain's ability to retain information in "working memory" is limited, and if students are having "trouble understanding something, what we mean is that their working memory is overwhelmed."

Teaching coding on computers is only one small aspect of computer literacy for students, asserts Jaigris Hodson of Royal Roads University in this commentary. Helping them recognize, and avoid spreading, misinformation as they navigate the internet requires equipping students with critical thinking and bias-recognition skills too, she writes.

What does effective K-5 math teaching look like—especially during remote learning? Author and math expert Sue O'Connell reminds us that math is more than speed and right answers. She shares 10 ideas for creating impactful lessons.
