The Wonder Workshop team has gone above and beyond in ensuring their coding and robotics tools (or, at the very least, digital variations of them all) remain available to students who might be doing their learning from home. The availability of their Dash’s Neighborhood platform enables students to explore coding concepts and create the same authentic programs online.
In terms of its looks, the micro:bit V2 is very similar to the original micro:bit and even costs roughly the same as well. It has tons of added capabilities, however, and can bring exciting new wrinkles to coding education with the addition of a built-in speaker, a built-in microphone, and a redesigned LED matrix for creating programs.

Jean is a paralibrarian at the Erving Public Library in Erving, MA and, like so many others, she’s had to adapt some of the library’s programming to be accessible remotely—something she’s found success with so far by maximizing the resources she has available to her, including her colleagues at the library.
In the webinar, a lot is covered and we hope there is some helpful information for what you need when it comes to coding education in remote learning. Thanks to how it’s evolved along with the emergence of the Ozobot Classroom learning management system, teachers and students have been able to continue making use of this STEAM solution.
We have presented our November EdTech grant to Charnley DeMeritt, who is a STEM lab teacher at the Oakview Elementary School, which is located in Simpsonville, SC! Part of the Greenville School System, their STEAM lab has evolved into a place where all students can experiment, think critically, and develop both hard and soft skills from their initial failures.
Flippity is an online tool teachers can use to easily turn any of their Google spreadsheets into sets of online flashcards plus various other instructional tools. Whether you’re in need of some flashcards that help students study, want to turn your classroom content into a game show and reviewing tool hybrid, or even help kids learn through board games, Flippity
For thousands of children, physically attending school in person is the only notable way they can connect with others. It may be because they’re living in very rural areas without guaranteed Internet access or they may struggle with economic limits that prevent them from paying for an Internet plan but these newly illuminated inequities in remote learning aren’t really new.
While it’s not the environment we’d all want to be using the databot in, this post paints a prime picture of how the databot is adaptable in almost every learning situation! Keep on reading to learn more about how teachers have found success using this data-collecting bot in different learning scenarios and with their students of all different ages.
We’ve talked an awful lot about SEL in remote learning, focusing mostly on checking in on our students and teachers. One other important component to social-emotional learning, however, now involves creating the right kinds of environments for children to reconnect with some of the things that have been missing for them all throughout the pandemic.
With the 3Doodler Build & Play, inventing is much more accessible for even the youngest children. Its own take on 3Doodler’s classic 3D printing pens, the Build & Play is a simplified machine that kids as young as four can use for creating three-dimensional objects in almost any learning environment. So, head inside to learn about using it with Pre-K
