If there’s one thing educators have a mixed relationship with, it must be technology. In these times, our future generation’s education might have come to a halt if not for apps like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. But what has already been a challenging few decades for teachers and professors, who saw a decline in students’ ability to focus and pay attention, was exacerbated by never-ending screen time and the internet.

However, great teachers are always one step ahead of the game. And they know how to use the thing that’d drive most teachers nuts to one’s advantage.

As in the case of Janna Haider, professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who meme-ified her US History class’ extra credit assignment and got herself some spicy history memes in the end. A well deserved ‘Be Smart’ meme to Janna, then!

To celebrate this unusually creative problem-solving method, Bored Panda has compiled all the memes in one place as shared by the professor. It may sound very 2022, but we’re all in for it. And so are the students.
