From Keynote Speeches to Real Classrooms: Reflections on Our PBL Summer in China This past summer, our team had the privilege of traveling to China to share, observe, and celebrate a major milestone in modern language education: the real-world implementation of our integrated Project-Based Learning (PBL) framework across the Smrt English K-12 curriculum.

Progressive education is experiencing a massive global shift. School leaders, parents, and curriculum designers are collectively looking beyond standardized text retention and focusing heavily on the development of 21st-century competencies of critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration.

How tech-based learning can have positive impacts on the classroom. What if students could walk on the surface of Mars during science class, collaborate with classmates across the globe, or receive instant feedback tailored specifically to their learning needs?

A short guide to digital resources for the K-12 teacher. When it comes to knowing what digital resources to incorporate into the K-12 classroom, the choices can be innumerable. Finding resources isn’t the issue, but knowing which resources would work best for different levels is often where teachers struggle to find the time to investigate. We’re hoping to make that a little easier for you by listing some of the tried and tested digital resources that teachers love to use. Di

By now we’ve all seen, heard, and even probably used AI in some form or another. It is difficult to get away from AI since it is being integrated into almost every digital product we use. Even as I write this there is an option to use AI to write the text for me, which I declined to use. Seeing AI tools in our daily lives can be a little aggravating, but as teachers perhaps it’s better for us to try to understand how we use it to make our jobs a little easier than fight it’s
