Mastering a STEM-related craft and earning that degree is one of the best ways to ensure future success, but what are the best college majors for those who want a lifetime of STEM challenges? Is it engineering or computer science? Or, might there be some other options to consider. We’ll take a look at some of the best options.
Using their Dash and Dot Robots in elementary school along with the more advanced Cue Robot in middle school, the Wonder Workshop team is helping educators prepare students for tomorrow. If you didn’t know, we carry a bunch of their kits and accessories on our store, including their brand-new Gripper Building Kit!
Educational drones have another cool component to them—a lot of them are programmable. The Airblock drone from Makeblock is one of those programmable drones and, in this week’s Eduporium Experiment, we take a look at its functions, abilities, and uses in education! Keep reading to learn more about the Airblock drone from Makeblock.
In 2019, how do we measure the effectiveness of education or of EdTech for that matter? Well, one of the greater goals of today’s teaching is to maximize student engagement by drawing on all available tools. This includes technology in a number of different forms, like online platforms, educational apps, and our favorite—hands-on STEM tools.
DJI has intrigued both hobbyists and STEM enthusiasts with their MAVIC, SPARK, and Phantom drones, but now they’ve added something new to their offerings. Their Tello EDU drone is designed exclusively for use in STEM education and provides both teachers and students with a new and exciting way to learn about piloting—and programming!
These days, it’s all about engagement. If you’re not getting students’ attention and keeping it, there’s a pretty good chance real learning is not happening. Like with adults, educators are now relying more and more on video (short videos to be more specific) in order to get and hold the attention of their students and Flipgrid can really help.
We’re very excited to share the stories of our featured educators and their work with you and hope it will give more educators encouragement to try something new in the classroom. This month, we spoke to Brandy Jackson, who is a technology teacher we’ve had the pleasure of working with on a number of occasions.
Since we launched our grant program, we’ve received many excellent proposals and have learned a ton about the creative projects educators have in mind! With that, the latest recipient of our grant is no exception and we’re excited to introduce January’s awardee, Martha Lanaghen from MakerBolder, an afterschool organization in Colorado!
We’re just a few days away from one of our most exciting EdTech events of the year! For the first time, we’ll be attending and exhibiting at the FETC in Orlando starting this Monday. The Eduporium team will be at Booth 1451 on both Monday and Tuesday with plenty of EdTech tools for attendees to learn about and try, including
With Socrative, teachers can create quick quizzes and assessments that cover the key points of the material discussed in class. It’s a great way to leverage technology to check for understanding of key terms and concepts and it’s really easy to use! Both teachers and students can create an account and teachers can create questions very quickly.
