We don’t care how. We just want to help teachers get kids coding. And what better time of the year to do so? We trust that everyone has been having a great CS Ed Week, but if you want to try some new things towards the end of it or carry it over into next week or even next year,

We know that everybody enjoys a good bargain—especially teachers trying to add technology to their classrooms. Our weekend-long sale launched early yesterday morning and is continuing until 11:59 pm ET on Cyber Monday! It even includes all day Saturday and Sunday, too! Let’s take a look at the EdTech products with special savings.

In the past, the Edison worked with Web-based software called EdWare and was designed for use on Chromebooks. Now, Microbric, its manufacturers, have released new programming software called EdBlocks, which allows kids to program Edison more enjoyably and effectively, including with LEGO compatibility.

Classroom design is one of those things we never really give our teachers enough credit for working on but there certainly is some strategy that goes into planning out all aspects of the school day and teachers certainly don’t overlook the value of creating these welcoming, accommodating, and even aesthetically pleasing classroom environments.

If you haven’t given much thought to trying Open Educational Resources in education or maybe aren’t quite sure what exactly they are, the time is now for you to explore some basics of them! OERs are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media for teaching, learning, and assessing your students as well as for research—and they’re all available for download.

Our world is changing—something that’s readily apparent to a lot of us but others are often shocked by just how much employees throughout today’s workforce need technology and rely on a super specific set of skills. So, as early on as elementary school, teachers are now exposing their students to basic coding in STEM classes and kids, generally, respond favorably

Once you have students’ full attention, set clear objectives and frame them in a context that they can understand and, more importantly, identify with. Depending on your preference, this can be done by asking your students to reflect (a ‘why’ question) or challenges for them to chase (an ‘identify’ question). Head inside to learn more about this important area of

Apps like Science360 gives the type of immersive experience the iPad was made for. It feel like you’re taking a deep long dive into a multimedia world of endless knowledge which the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides through this app. It’s a plethora of engaging science and engineering images and videos from around the globe.

There are actually a lot of awesome early education technologies students could use for practicing everything from problem solving or engineering to math or even coding in Pre-K or kindergarten. Whether it is engaging them more successfully or actually introducing hands-on experiences, including coding, the right tech has a place in ECE and these are some favorites.

For students, learning to code is both essential and accessible. With many age-appropriate classroom coding solutions available, helping them to see the possibilities, benefits, and enjoyment of robotics and coding education is very much possible for instructors to accomplish. Plus, other benefits of CS education, like boosting creative problem solving skills, are extensive.
