At a somewhat surprising rate, teachers are ditching traditional computer labs and rediscovering innovation with new hubs known as 3D printer labs. In these labs, kids get the added STEM experience and the school spends more money. Not so fast. Today, we’ve got five top-of-the-line and, more importantly, affordable 3D printers you should try out this school year.
To us, being partners means that we’ll always help educators learn what’s best for their students and develop a plan to achieve those goals—not try to sell them the most expensive tools out there. See how we can partner with your school, library, or makerspace to help empower your students with technology they can use to build key skills.

The Holiday Season is a time for selflessness and gift giving to let those in our lives know how much we care about them. As our focus has always been on education, however, we sometimes tend to go a little overboard in recommending that parents get their kids gifts that combine fun and learning—and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Classroom design is one of those things we never really give our teachers enough credit for working on but there certainly is some strategy that goes into planning out all aspects of the school day and teachers certainly don’t overlook the value of creating these welcoming, accommodating, and even aesthetically pleasing classroom environments.
If you haven't given much thought to trying Open Educational Resources in education or maybe aren't quite sure what exactly they are, the time is now for you to explore some basics of them! OERs are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media for teaching, learning, and assessing your students as well as for research—and they're all available for download.
