Educational technology has, of course, completely transformed how today's K-12 students learn. From basic 3D printers and virtual reality systems to simple coding robots and screen-free building tools, countless numbers of educators have been able to affect education for the better and help children develop transferrable skills for the real world. Since EdTech now covers so many areas, however, there often remains a lot for teachers to learn about and explore. Not every technology tool will impact your students in the same ways, nor will they enhance every single lesson. It's more about finding the right solutions for the right situations and building high-quality instruction from there. In this section, we cover everything from specific classroom STEM kits to insights on integrating EdTech tools in teaching. And, we'll continue adding new resources with thoughts on the many branches of the EdTech tree.
EdTech resources are constantly impacting student development and redefining how educators can engage them. Besides those hands-on technologies, digital tools and platforms also play a huge role in learning. From coding or artificial intelligence to social-emotional learning, the instant availability of EdTech resources generates many revolutionary opportunities all throughout the world of K-12 and higher education. When it comes down to it, however, equitable access to technology can be a complete game changer. With these opportunities, students can build the hard and soft skills to navigate our increasingly complex world. And, no matter how complex or simplistic EdTech activities are, they can help catalyze that development. We encourage you to browse the content below and reach out to our team with any questions.
While it is true that we often do consider some STEM tools to be complete game changers, we truly stand by every item and brand on our store. We’ll often hear from educators who are looking for some of those bigger names and, while we know they will do well with them, we can sometimes tell that a different tech
Our twice-weekly newsletter is a great resource for educators to subscribe to and an excellent tool for them to learn about many of the advancements in EdTech as well as the additions to our store. There are a variety of topics that enter our subscribers’ inboxes every week, so we thought we’d offer a taste of what you could be
In the final installment of a short video series, two of our co-founders, Irina and Rick, are back to discuss one of the most important ways in which we help teachers. Since teachers often don’t have ample time to research and vet every interesting educational technology tool themselves, we’ve made it our mission to do that for them and help free up
Artificial intelligence is looking like it will play a much larger role in education—both in terms of enhancing the instruction students receive and in growing into an area of study they’ll want to know about. AI is very powerful technology, but, thanks to resources, like READYAI, it’s not something educators should be terrified of.
At Eduporium, we serve educators in a number of ways. At the top of our list is making sure they have easy access to all the EdTech they need in one place. Since there are hundreds of STEM tools on our store, we welcome feedback from teachers who have used them so we know we’re always getting them the technology
In ‘reality,’ VR offers students up-close views of just about anything they can imagine. It helps them conceptualize discussion topics from their classes much more vividly. And, it can even be used to create content like with MERGE, which just so happens to be the focus of this week’s Rising Resources post!
We’re constantly monitoring these developments and assessing how new technology can be used in the classroom to advance 21st century education. In the first installment of a new mini video series, hear from Eduporium co-founders on the importance of STEM education and how we can help affect the futures of today’s students
You know us. We love advocating for the use of new and engaging mediums in contemporary education. In fact, we’re regularly advocating for the use of augmented and virtual reality in all grades—not just college—and that just so happens to be the subject of this week’s Rising Resources blog. Read on to learn more about Alive Studios!
We’re very excited to share their stories and their work with you and hope it will give more educators encouragement to try something new in the classroom. This month, we spoke to Michael Wilson, a robotics teacher from Ghana, who is on a mission to inspire students to think critically, create, and design solutions.
Ordering a bunch of new technology and then throwing it into a classroom isn’t necessarily a great idea. Children might be excited, but it’s also highly unlikely that they (or their teachers) will know how to make the most of this technology or even know how to use it at all. With advances in EdTech and a greater focus on
