As education continues to be delivered at least partly outside of the classroom, different types of distance learning continue to be explored. So, whether you’re teaching fully remotely, in a hybrid model, live with students all the time, or trying out asynchronous learning, we’ll share some suggestions for how it could be improved.
Integrating coding and robotics in any classroom is a popular and effective approach to offering children of all ages a real-world STEM education. One of the best options for doing so involves programming with the mBot-S, an engineerable robot that’s compatible with various entry-level languages, so kids can explore computer science in elementary, middle, or high school.
As many throughout the education world have reacted and processed the events of the last couple of months, it’s left us with a refresh at the top of our institution of education.

Though it’s ideal, having a physical robot is not always an option for students learning outside of the classroom and that’s why these various virtual resources have become so important. Among those is the Shape Tracer game from Ozobot, a cool, Web-based platform students can use to code a virtual Ozobot right on their screen.
We’re happy to announce that we have awarded our final EdTech grant of 2020 to Mary Bonnetty, an elementary teacher from Honolulu, Hawaii! Mary teaches at the Queen Ka’ahumanu Elementary School and has made a huge impact on the STEM offerings her students get to experience whether learning in-person or remotely.
Synchronous and asynchronous learning have each become important topics throughout various education communities and the subtle features of each are valuable for today’s educators to know. If you’re moving back and forth about which method to use or find yourself switching regularly, read on to learn more.
Our one-stop shopping experience is a favorite among K-12 tech teachers and specialists and our Educator Discount on technology and quoting help make it easier to obtain STEM tools from various manufacturers and STEM disciplines in one place. So, what’s among the newest offerings we’re able to provide for students involved in remote, hybrid, or in-person learning?
One of the more highly anticipated educational technology releases within recent years, the Finch Robot 2.0 is now shipping! Much more robust and versatile than the original Finch Robot from BirdBrain Tech, this new Finch 2.0 is a viable coding and robotics solution for students across every K-12 grade and allows students of different ability levels to try coding in
Many of the insights we’ve gained about education amid the pandemic are lessons most of us wouldn’t have thought we would need to learn but they have become very valuable. Now, educational leaders are dealing with the prospect of carrying over these insights as they create meaningful student experiences while also trying to apply new knowledge going forward.
