Here, you'll find video resources for enhancing many aspects of 21st century education. Coupled with context that helps teachers understand more fully, these videos are valuable for all. Whether it's recordings of webinars or our own original content, you can find it here. Highlighted in the Videos section is a recent series of webinars. Our team collaborated with some of our top EdTech partners to host quick broadcasts on key education topics in 2021. They include an array of topics, like integrating technology, finding your balance, and maximizing learning in different environments. You can find resources on using the Terrapin Robots, Ozobot Evo, micro:bit V2, RobotLAB VR system, and more. As digital learning has really exploded since 2020, we believe these videos serve as a quick way for educators to remain up to date.
Besides hosting webinars, we also enjoy utilizing this section of the blog for sharing our own thoughts. So many factors have gone in to the incorporation and evolution of Eduporium. So, for that reason, you'll also find some videos of our founders discussing these key topics. Have you ever wondered about the Eduporium mission, for example? We won't spoil that whole video but it does often center largely on providing equitable, accessible, and real-world learning experiences for today's students. Or, how do we determine which STEAM solutions we'll offer on our store? We have a video breaking down this whole decision-making process as well. We hope you enjoy these videos and encourage you to look through or share them with professional colleagues. Check back in the coming weeks as well as we aim to add more content to this collection.
