It can be hard to convince teachers (let alone students) to use some of their summer vacation to improve their academic skills. This is, of course, understandable since they spend the rest of the year doing just that. Making summer learning fun, however, is a fairly reasonable compromise so that both educators and their students aren’t wasting time.
While not necessarily brand new, wearable technology is demonstrating it can play a viable role in creating or enriching 21st century learning experiences for students. Whether it’s virtual reality headsets or other tech tools, it’s no longer unheard of to use wearables in education. Read on to learn more about some of the most popular ones.

Why this may be is anybody’s guess, but some of the top reasons include the belief that they’re not as qualified as males.
You may have heard from the source itself (or maybe from our social media) that there was a new Raspberry Pi board launched on that very day. The Pi 3 is now the newest version of the powerful microcomputer and got us thinking about how schools can use each version of the Raspberry Pi in STEM education. Read on to learn more about it.
When students are given the freedom to invent unheard of solutions to problems and go about solving them in unique ways, they’re building a foundation for the future. A lot of the tools we’ll use in the next decade or two haven’t been invented yet. Most likely, a student somewhere in a K-12 school is going to be responsible for an invention eventually.
