Our longest running current blog series, the Eduporium Weekly is your source for relevant education topics. Whether it's related to EdTech, STEM, SEL, makerspaces, soft skills, equity, CTE, or any number of other things, you are sure to find some relevant content here. Our team remains committed to providing intriguing and up-to-date opinions and perspectives on the most important topics—whether they're technology-based or not. Every week, we share our thoughts about those key topics in education. Giving educators a Saturday morning read, many of our Eduporium Weekly posts reflect recent happenings, important updates, or, sometimes, some fun revelations. We're also very fortunate to serve a community of such committed educators. For that reason, we strive to keep our thoughts and content fresh. And, this section of our blog is a great place to go for just that.
Whatever is happening in education, we believe our committed team members help educators adjust. As we've seen, technology has a place in all types of learning—as long as educators integrate it strategically. As debates and discussions in STEAM and general education evolve, we adapt this content to continually educate, inform, and entertain. Our perspective may be a bit unique but our collective expertise on these topics is always improving. We also encourage you to browse the pages or search for a topic of your interest on the left of your screen. We certainly take pride in being up to date with what teachers are experiencing. From our entire team, we hope this content truly provides you with guidance and inspiration. Check back every weekend, as well, for the latest edition of the Eduporium Weekly.
If you’ve ever explored our site (if you haven’t, now is a pretty good time), you’ve likely seen hundreds of different EdTech tools, including some for every single age group and ones that cover just about every STEM area imaginable. We’ve got a gift for each of the 15 days of techXmas and, hopefully, you can learn something, too.
We understand that it is tremendously difficult for teachers to create custom lessons for each individual student, but we also fear that some students will be left behind if they’re not being taught in a way that works for them. Personalized learning is attainable—so long as educators take some certain steps and go about it in the right way.
Coding is a skill that’s going to be extremely relevant for everybody in the future and something that all students need to experience from the onset of their education. And, yes, this includes girls. For whatever reason—many of which we’ll get into later—girls seem to lack the same interest boys have in STEM education but we can do something about
We know that everybody enjoys a good bargain—especially teachers trying to add technology to their classrooms. Our weekend-long sale launched early yesterday morning and is continuing until 11:59 pm ET on Cyber Monday! It even includes all day Saturday and Sunday, too!

Unfortunately, we can’t take all the credit, but we’d like to think that we play a small role in helping usher teachers into the 21st century. Now that most schools in the country and in the world are focusing a lot more on STEM education, upgrades need to be made to that as well. What’s the saying? Most of what
Coding is arguably far and away the most important skill that our students need to learn and the structure of today’s economy certainly supports that belief. It’s not that simply the highest-paying jobs require workers to be proficient in coding—it’s even starting to trend towards the entire workforce needing coding skills in some form or another.
Every week of the past month, we’ve been appearing at events, presenting at others, and I think we even attended one or two as guests. Now that the craziness of October is over, we can relax a little bit in November. No, wait. That’s not true. November is going to be just as crazy. Oh well, here’s a list of
If there is one goal of contemporary education it’s to prepare students for the real world. They will enter a world that’s hands-on, in need of problem solvers, and rewarding to those who develop creative solutions. It’s not as kind to those who only possess book smarts. It’s a challenge, but teachers help when they facilitate learning that mirrors the
If you’re thinking about going 1:1 in your school or district, there are a lot of things to consider. The first among them is the goals you hope to achieve with this initiative and then you’ll probably get into considering which computers to use. A 1:1 program offers students a nice advantage for accessing information, but there’s more to consider,
Since more school systems are transitioning toward offering some kind of CTE program for students in high school grades, it’s becoming even more important they do this the right way. In many places, career and technical education (CTE) is taking off in colleges and universities, but also coming into play even earlier than that by necessity.
