For homeschooling parents, EdTech may seem out of reach. Whether it’s too expensive or too complex, some of the most popular EdTech isn’t suited for homeschoolers. However, we’ve compiled a list of the best EdTech tools that work perfectly in a home classroom. These solutions are affordable and approachable, with curriculum that parents can easily integrate.
Welcome to Eduporium’s Tips & Tricks blog! In this bi-weekly blog series, we are highlighting some of the best practices for using some of our most popular EdTech tools in the classroom. If you’ve been searching for a straightforward guide on how to best care for EdTech, this blog is the one for you. In today’s post, we will cover
Fostering environmental awareness in children could take many forms. We have identified some EdTech tools that truly help kids approach ecological learning from different perspectives. They can capture data from the world with robots, take their coding outside, use sustainable tools, and complete hands-on projects on renewable energy while expanding their eco literacy!
The Forward Education Climate Action Kit comes with everything a teacher needs to introduce green energy and environmental science concepts to students. Powered by the micro:bit, students will model sustainable energy solutions with robotic parts and building blocks in this kit appropriate for K-12 students. Kids will learn to invest in our eco-friendly future!
Older kids (14+) can use the 3Doodler Flow to craft projects for any class using teacher-created lesson plans. The Flow pen comes with a few great upgrades from the Start and Create, including a digital temperature display and spooled filament. These changes make the new Flow pen even more efficient when creating STEM projects such as a 3D model of
Many robotics tools also have virtual options, which help allow students to continue learning and programming while they’re at home or perhaps after school. In fact, many of those platforms often help improve accessibility of technology by removing the need for a physical robot, increasing equity in multiple ways. So, read on for our recommendations for virtual CS tools.
Eduporium’s co-founder, president, and CEO, Richard Fredkin, never really had what many tech executives would consider as a traditional start in the industry. That’s fine with him, however, since he’s found himself in a place that not too many other Black men have found themselves: in the leading role at a technology company. Learn more about his unique start inside.
Did you know students’ physical activity levels have fallen by 40% in the past 5 years? Whether you attribute this change to social media, lack of third spaces for kids to gather, safety reasons, or something else, it’s definitely a concern. So why not integrate activity into other learning? The next installment in our spring webinar series shows you how
Coding with the Bee-Bot Emulator works just like programming your actual Bee-Bot Robot but is completely separate from the main Bee-Bot app. The digital platform even displays the directional buttons in the same ways and plays the same sounds to help create familiarity and continuity for children. Plus, the emulator is accessible online without downloads or installations.
Our model of Ecological Education, or EcoEd, uses principles from Nature to inform all learning. In this white paper, we explain the need for a shift to project-based learning and the formation of an “Ecological Mindset.” EcoEd can equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to create a sustainable future.
