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.
Do you ever sit around and dream up ways for how classrooms can be made more exciting, innovative and useful? Just start a little inquiry, mix in a bit of cool technology and you’ll be on your way to interacting with a room of engaged students! That is the focus of this week’s Eduporium Weekly along with how you can
All too often, we place too much emphasis on driving home concepts and confirming student knowledge by administering tests on a regular basis. Is this the best way for kids to learn, though? Traditionally, most education models have revolved around this approach, but in recent years, more and more teachers have been embracing STEM methods.
Blended learning initiatives are currently carving their path into mainstream education with as much force as Hurricane Fred. Okay, maybe not quite as much, but it’s still equally powerful. That’s because when it comes down to modern learning in 21st century schools, two minds are often much better than one. Head inside to learn more about the latest trends we’re
It’s just about that time again—the exhilaration (for teachers) and the dreading (for students) of going back to school. Or is it time yet? Have you ever wondered if every child in the world starts school on the same day or, if they don’t, how long have they already been in class? Well, the answer is that not everyone starts
Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to overcome lack of creativity in education and if you’d care to learn how, keep reading! Some of the factors that scientifically compose creativity include originality, self-expression, risk taking and collaboration—none of which I see in traditional lecture-giving and note-taking classrooms.
Researchers from MIT reportedly have created a new robot in their lab and apparently, it does resemble an actual person. Engineers at the prestigious university recently revealed the interface they have constructed, which can allow human programmers to interact with a humanoid robot, allowing that robot to learn and eventually mimic human-like reflexes.
One of the hottest topics in EdTech throughout the recent months has been the subject of digital citizenship (or digital literacy). By designing classrooms that are more conducive to the specific needs of the students it surrounds for 180 days, those inside will become more eager to learn and, with increased engagement, see better academic results.
With all the buzz surrounding STEM education, teaching students skills that will be vital to succeeding post-education is something that the best modern instructors seek to accomplish. What they could be doing, however, is not only teaching students the skills they will need, but also putting them to the test now right in the classroom.
With the obvious shift to jobs centering on STEM-rich areas, schools are gearing up to educate their students on science, technology, engineering and math in earlier grades and in more rigorous ways than in the past. The presence of and necessity for STEM skills in the 21st century is showing to be truer than ever.
As summer keeps heating up, get excited about some new findings in the technology world that could include talking Wi-Fi! According to reports, Wi-Fi-enabled devices will likely soon be able to swap tiny messages when they detect each other, which will make it easier for users to connect with only those that they are interested in.
