For this last educator, however, we sent a little something before the start of the new year. Leigh Kuhn is a school librarian at Bondurant Middle School in Frankfort, Ky. and she caught our eye with her ‘STEM to STREAM’ initiative, so we made sure to get her something she can use in the new year!
We are unable to award something to everybody who applies for our EdTech grant, so, this Holiday season, we selected a few of the applicants who weren’t chosen and sent them what they asked for. Alyssa Newton was one of the educators we sent something to and her students really seemed to love what they received.
As part of our Rising Resources blog series, we’re taking a look at some of the world’s most helpful resources for educators and telling you what you need to know. For this week’s blog, we checked out a resource called TeAch-nology. Essentially, TeAch-nology is a service that provides educators with thousands of resources that make everything easier.
Gail Morris is a teacher at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School in Newark, Del. She works a lot with students who have learning disabilities, but still wants to get them introduced to coding as much as possible—a mission that we certainly support! To close out 2018, we sent Gail an Ozobot Evo for her and her students to use and we’re excited
We told you about the first beneficiary of some Holiday cheer we helped spread at the tail end of 2018 and now we’re going to talk about another one! At the end of December, we sent Holiday gifts to five educators who had previously applied for our EdTech grant but were not selected due to the number of applications and
We often preach about the importance of learning coding for students’ futures. As a skill, it might just be the most valuable ability they can possess as they move forward and, on the flip side, they could fall behind peers if they are not literate in coding. What we don’t always talk about, however, are the other benefits of learning
During 2018, we were thrilled to launch our $500 monthly EdTech grant program and received a number of exceptional applications throughout the year. Unfortunately, we were only able to select one recipient each month, but, with the Holiday season underway, we decided to send a few gifts to educators who applied and were not selected.
There are two books kids can follow—one with instructions for building the computer and another that details all of the ways kids can then code with it. Well, now Kano has a few new models (as well as classroom packs), but for this edition of the Eduporium Experiment, we’re taking a look at the Kano Touch Kit and how kids
It’s that time of the month again—time to reveal the recipient of our $500 EdTech grant! To close out the first calendar year of our grant program, which has been tremendously successful in our eyes, we’ve decided to give December’s award to Mary Ledford, a librarian from Harvest Elementary School in Saline, Michigan.
As we close the book on 2018 and look forward to 2019, we’re extremely thankful for the community of educators we continue to build. Whether it’s by appearing at educational conferences or events or through our social media initiatives, we’re proud of the community of educators you’ve helped us build!
