A few weeks ago, we reviewed the SAM Labs Curious Cars Kit for the Eduporium Experiment and now this week’s edition has the SAM Labs Inventor Kit in store for us! SAM Labs is a British company who’s committed to bringing hands-on STEAM to early education and have created three innovative kits that do just that.
We attended our first national ISTE conference last week and learned a lot along the way. Like just how many attendees were actually walking among the huge crowd, for instance. The size and scope of this EdTech event are both incredible and it’s really impossible to quantify how far our message has reached, but there are some other findings we
Mobile learning is making its way into K-12 education just as mobile technology is making its way deeper and deeper into our everyday lives and the best way for students to stay connected and be able to learn on the go is with Chromebooks—affordable, portable, and educational laptops for the 21st century.
More than just a service robot, the Sanbot provides authentic educational value and gives students feedback they can go on to use to improve their projects as they get more comfortable with robotics and technology! Designed to empower students from an early age, Sanbot teaches kids how to create a smarter future!
Technology can enable the littlest learners to get a feel for what it’s like to work with their hands and engage in authentic problem solving. Sometimes, we’re even comfortable recommending technology that’s suitable for children who haven’t even entered kindergarten yet. You guessed it—the Code-a-pillar is one of those technologies.
If you’re so inclined to come visit us during our three days at the ISTE Conference, we would certainly welcome everyone, especially teachers, librarians, administrators, and makerspace leaders! If you need some more convincing, here are some extra incentives for you to drop by our interactive booth!
For this week’s experiment, we’re going to be taking a look at the newest of the brand new EdTech tools we have in our store. Developed and manufactured in France, Marbotic is an interactive way for early learners to get familiar with numbers, letters, and technology. They’ve created three different kits and we got them in our office just in
MakerEd includes everything from informal constructive play with everyday objects, glue, and tape to large-scale 3D printing or sometimes even some digital fabrication. Modern makerspaces have become a popular place for creative-minded students to show off their making skills and inventiveness and thousands of educators have now built in-house areas for making.
We know the summer is upon you, teachers. We still wanted to remind you that our Educator Discount program is open to all of you all year long. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, administrator, librarian, makerspace leader, tech director, or something else, educators of ALL kinds qualify for educational pricing at our online store.
You may remember a few months back we were excited to announce we had been approved as a registered provider of PD. Well, we finally got our PD feet wet last week and led our first hands-on teacher workshop event in collaboration with our friends from the Genesee Valley BOCES located in Le Roy, New York with about 35 people
