In the News & Updates section of our blog, you'll find updates on many of the latest STEM developments. These include happenings from the STEM and MakerEd worlds as well as important Eduporium announcements. This is where we'll share updates on product additions, announce the recipients of our monthly educational technology grant, pass on company news, highlight upcoming events, and discuss a whole lot more when it comes to cool topics in STEM education. Beyond our STEAM coverage, we also touch on various elements of 21st century learning. These include remote instruction, special education, social-emotional learning, and equity and diversity. If it's happening in the world of education, we're interested. And, we'll offer our analysis on what's affecting students, teachers, and administrators, attaching our genuine thoughts to keep you updated.
This is an area for us to keep a repository of recent happenings. Whether it's the release of a new type of technology, any additions to an EdTech product line, the arrival of new brands to our store, or some thoughts on the current state of education, there's a good chance you'll find it here. As time has gone on, we've participated in more STEAM and makerspace events. So, we've started to keep curated collections of those experiences. You can find them all throughout the News & Updates category. As Eduporium continues to expand and we get to participate in more STEM education projects with educators in some of the country's biggest school districts, we'll share those stories, too. We hope our collective accomplishments and partnerships with members of the K–12 community inspire others to innovate in new ways!
The theme for MassCUE’s recently held 2015 summer workshop for STEM and tech educators was ‘Better Together—Working with Your Librarian and ITS to Design Great Projects.’ After all, education isn’t any different; plenty of truly innovative and revolutionary results often stem from collaboration among groups of students using technology in the classroom.
After logging reading, students are automatically prompted to answer one Common Core-aligned comprehension question. They earn Wisdom Coins for logging reading and answering questions—they use these to buy virtual accessories for their Owlvatar. The more they earn, the more they can buy in the Owl Store; a surprising motivator.
In this post from guest blogger, Jessica Sanders of www.learn2earn.org, explore some of the new and efficient ways to help raise money for your school community. School fundraisers are a necessary evil, but that doesn’t mean they need to be a pain to facilitate. Luckily, technology is making it easier to run effective fundraisers without the headaches.
With wide-ranging educational apps available today encouraged by the rapid growth of academic institutions that are leveraging mobile learning, children are now significant beneficiaries and successors of digital tools. Many of them might be aspiring to be designers, developers, and even app creators to become the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg.
Eduporium’s revamped Resources Portal, which has evolved from a general collection of resources, gives you a great place to start. In addition to a brand-new look, it now contains Product Pages, Project Pages and Voices Pages as well as a General section. Learn more about what’s now available inside.
What if we only went to websites that we knew, and navigated using the links supplied on the page. How many “degrees of separation” would we get between two websites that each would be considered significant resources for the subjects we were exploring? Learn more about that and get ready for Digital Learning Day!
While in the office and doing some research I overheard two of my co-workers discussing Raspberry Pi. Two things happened next, and I can’t remember which came first. One, my stomach growled loud enough for my family to hear it back in California; and two, I jumped from behind my desk and asked where the pie was, and who had
Ever call someone and accidentally hear a conversation between two people you’ve never met, you just happened to tune in to their phone line? As far as I understand it, one of the mechanisms developed to prevent interference or unauthorized connections, especially between devices connected by radio waves, is called frequency hopping.
We spend a lot of time at the office here at Eduporium HQ, and we don’t get to spend as much time with children as we would like. When some friends from the Cambridge Montessori School invited us to bring some of our educational technologies for a workshop they were doing for the annual Hour of Code event, we could
As you might know, 3D printing has been around for a while. Here’s a little timeline. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) was developed by S. Scott Crump. This involves producing a model by extruding small beads of material which harden immediately to form layers. This method of 3D printing eventually took off with commercial and DIY enthusiasts.
