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.
Circuitry kits like this one are a great way to introduce elementary students to one of the most important STEAM concepts. And, this one in particular is especially versatile because it combines so many specific STEM disciplines in one dynamic tool. There are three different versions with 59, 115, and 120 projects.

As another school year approaches—or maybe it’s your first one—it certainly doesn’t hurt to try new things. Many of those new things will come in the form of different educational technologies. Everything from robotics and coding to engineering, 3D printing, and virtual reality is on the table for teachers this school year.
We’ve decided to do a bit more in terms of bulk EdTech fulfillment. Our research has told us that teachers like to have a number of compatible EdTech products for students to use collaboratively. So, we thought ‘Hey, that’s a pretty good idea,’ and set out to create custom tech bundles for our partners. Here are some of our favorites.
At Eduporium, we like tech tools that progress with students as they learn more skills. There are plenty of kits and product lines that do the same and one of them, which we were only introduced to recently, is E-Blox. The E-Blox team has created a new and perhaps even more exciting spin on LEGO’s—one that will get kids excited

Coding is an extremely large topic in modern education and has enormous implications on the futures of today’s students. As the flood of coding toys, tools, and websites out there continue to expand, we chatted with Weston Hagan, Director at Let’s Start Coding, about connecting coding with more of today’s existing academic standards when building a new product.
VR can send students to new environments, to landmarks they’ve never seen before, and to sites they’d otherwise never be able to explore. And, that’s just what a basic viewer is capable of doing. Bring the incredible capabilities of the Oculus Rift VR Bundle into the conversation and it becomes a whole new ballgame.
In 21st century education, much has been made about game-baed learning and its place in the classroom. Some educators and learning experts have questioned its legitimacy as a teaching approach while others have embraced it and used it effectively. Now, students also have the opportunity to create their own games!
