Sure, just throwing a VR headset into a classroom and letting kids do with it what they please might not be the best approach. Luckily, there are alternatives, like Google Expeditions. With these programs, students can leverage tailored content in an interactive way all while their teachers guide them through lessons that are optimized for education!

This week in the Eduporium Experiment, we’re delving into the popular engineering packs from PCS Edventures known as BrickLAB. Upon first glance, the components closely resemble LEGO bricks, but after doing some research and exploring, I found out that, while they may look like LEGOs, there is much more academic potential for BrickLAB.

We hope you have been enjoying our Rising Resources blog series so far and we’re back with a new installment today! Each week, we will take a look at an online STEM resource teachers can use to better their instruction with hands-on opportunities. In this article, we’re exploring the wonders of Nearpod.

We say this all the time but a makerspace could be anything you want it to be. Seriously, there is no right or wrong way to design a makerspace. They now often pop up in classrooms, libraries, community centers, basements, closets, or wherever there’s room. The important thing is that students can work with their hands and create something meaningful.

When you think about it, the activities students can take part in using LEGOs are very much in line with current educational standards—especially those that deal with STEM. Now, there’s a new option for teaching engineering in early education. The kits from BrickLAB are packed with legitimate opportunities and now available on our store!

In this edition of Rising Resources, we’re taking a deeper look into the mathematics and technology resource known as Funbrain. This resource is ideal for parents and educators who want to foster a positive relationship between students and educational gaming. It offers lots of hands-on learning through interactive gameplay and more!

While it may not be as bad as it was once thought to be, there will almost certainly be jobs lost to technology. While there will likely be jobs created in their place, however, there is no denying that technologies like artificial intelligence will have their place in our lives. They are already very much in it, in fact, with

This week in the Eduporium Experiment, we’re diving into Part 2 of the Sphero Mini. In the first Sphero Mini blog, we addressed the differences between the Sphero SPRK+ and the Mini. This week, we are going to discuss the various apps that students can use with the Mini and how to apply them in a classroom, makerspace, or at

Audacity is a free and open-source digital audio editor and recording application software that anybody can use to create their own custom sounds. In this post, we’re exploring the wonders of Audacity. Keep reading to find out why it’s useful and how educators can leverage it to create high-quality learning experiences in the classroom!

In some parts of the country, school has already started, but for those who return back right before or right after Labor Day, there is still a bit of time to do some EdTech research and discover some new tech tools to potentially bring into the classroom for the new year! So, here’s some suggestions for tech tools to use
