We try to keep adding new items for educators regularly, opening up as many avenues as possible for teaching with new technologies. We know that STEM instruction is important to just about everyone today, so we try to make EdTech shopping easier. Anyway, we have some new products from big-name STEM brands and some all-new models as well.
EdTech has evolved to encompass so many angles for both education and technology. So many contemporary forms of technology have become real valuable pieces for classroom instruction and taken on new characteristics in a lot of cases.

School leaders are always looking for ways to get members of their community—most commonly the parents of their students—involved with what kids are doing in the classroom. Today’s students are accomplishing so much especially when it comes to innovative learning and, too often, parents don’t get to truly see what they’re working on.
With classes getting underway this past week in a lot of the country and other students really getting into the swing of things, we thought we’d take some time to reinforce how learning with technology can spur development and help them build some of the skills they’ll need most. This week, we’re taking a look at some of the best brands in EdTech.
Coding tools, makerspace materials, and many other STEAM solutions are awesome at getting them to work with their hands and also activating their brains.

Well, technology can have lots to do with that and the effectiveness with which teachers can weave it into their school’s curriculum and everyday projects can do a lot for a student’s future, helping to equip them with both hard and soft skills.
Keeping up with the latest releases from EdTech companies is important to us and we constantly work to make sure that we’re not missing anything important. At the same time, we’re researching each product ourselves to make sure that it will undoubtedly enhance instruction for all teachers and students that use it. Here are a few to check out!

Here are some beliefs about VR and reasons for debunking each.
In the last few years, more focus has been put on digital or technological equity and a strong push has been made to ensure that every student has access to tech tools that help them grow. This is important not only because technology affords students with enriched opportunities, but it also helps prepare them for a lot of the challenges they’ll face.
