We have another great educator interview to share with you! This month’s featured educator is Jen Leban, a middle school technology teacher from Illinois, who has made use of numerous various technologies, and helped give her students a meaningful (and long-lasting) education! Keep reading to learn more about her efforts in STEAM education.

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!

Wouldn’t it be great if teachers could make more money than they do? Well, until that happens, there are, in fact, some ways they can do just that, including using the site that’s the subject of this Rising Resources blog, Teachers Pay Teachers! There’s no doubt that TPT has become a staple in the lives of many of today’s educators

The C++ programming language can be learned by anyone with some computer science experience. On the basic side, students can learn things like loops, arrays, strings, functions, and variables, while the more advanced programming with C++ includes the capability to control pointers, structures, dynamic allocation, binary trees, and more.

For this week’s Eduporium Experiment, we opened up our Buildings & Bridges kit, which is part of Engino’s STEM STRUCTURES series. It’s a great way for students aged between 8-16 to not only build some pretty cool structures, but also learn the science behind engineering and the physics needed to ensure its safe and sound.

As STEM education has developed over the last few years, now there are even more ways for teachers to deliver an innovative educational experience for their students. STEM education has been broken down into various focuses, including robotics, coding, 3D printing, and more, but there have also been letters added.

Now, Kano’s options have expanded and we’re excited to introduce their STEAM Packs, Club Packs, and Classroom Packs for both the traditional Kano and the touchscreen model. With these kits, innovative educators can support up to 30 students and empower them to code, create, and collaborate with all new options!

Whether in the classroom or the library, students need hands-on and future-focused learning experiences, which is exactly what this educator tries to deliver to inspire active learning in her students every day!
