Technology has significantly impacted our learning and teaching practices, and it is apparent that artificial intelligence (AI), apps, and internet integration are crucial for fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for all learners. In today's educational landscape, technology-enabled instructors can appreciate Einstein's assertion that individual intelligence may be measured through peer feedback, implying that 'retaining all information is not necessary.' This idea is embodied in our current teaching methods, which incorporate a more personalized and flexible approach for 21st-century students. This is in considering these elements:
(1) Cognitive development plays a critical role in learning styles that demand varied teaching approaches. For example, an individual may learn better through manipulative, visual prompts, accessibility by association, technological devices, and other instructional methods.
(2) The assessment of motivational factors including power for engagement, repetition, and retention supports learning across the curriculum, not limited to math.
