Each month, we highlight a committed member from the educator community. From early education through high school, classroom teachers, librarians, administrators, and makerspace facilitators are, unquestionably, the backbone when it comes to providing students with relevant learning experiences. Especially in creating innovative opportunities with technology, we know that those who prioritize student-centered, inquiry-based, and also collaborative learning are doing all they can for children. For that (and other reasons), we launched our Eduporium Featured Educator series to share some successes educators have had. We also wanted to do all we could to help inspire other educators around the country. Each one plays such a vital role in advancing student outcomes and integrating new technology. Ultimately, we hope this leads to teachers trying some new things in the classroom or makerspace.
If you would like to apply to be featured, you can find the application here. We also encourage teachers to share it with colleagues from their schools or district. It can also be a great resource to share throughout your teacher PLN. We believe that the experiences today's educators create are as unique as the students they serve. Since first publishing this series, we have learned a lot about so many creative, compelling, and successful STEM initiatives and projects. The Eduporium Featured Educators—like all others—certainly display true commitment that's second to none. Most importantly, we know their efforts have helped enhance learning experiences for their students. Whether it's in building technology skills, developing soft skills, or increasing their career readiness, creatively integrating technology is something we very much appreciate. And, we continue looking for success stories to share.
