Without moms, there wouldn’t be any future-ready kids poised to take on the world thanks to an all-encompassing STEM education. Just like how mothers help them in life, EdTech helps kids grow in school and shapes them to be the learners that mom knows they can. And, believe it or not, there are some connections between robots and the things moms do.
Let’s explore and dissect the importance of a quality math education in developing readiness in today’s students. STEM proficiencies continue to be importa in the modern world and math is no exception. Take a look at how to better set students up for success in and out of the classroom with an increased focus on math and improved instruction
You might have heard that our team will be participating in the upcoming Cambridge Science Festival next week and even hosting a few events on Wednesday and Thursday. And, we feel it’s imperative to do what we can so that educators have an idea and an advantage when it comes to how they can create this kind of transformational education in our schools.
We’re sad that this year’s National Robotics Week celebration is nearing its end but that does not mean that learning with robotics needs to! If you ask us, robotics in every classroom should be a year-round thing—after school and even during the summer—not just one week in April! We’ll try to share some ideas for achieving this and starting up the excitement for next year!
Hey, did you hear that this coming week is National Robotics Week!? That’s right—from April 4-12, we’re celebrating the best of robotics in STEM education, from the learning opportunities they provide to the services they help complete! Find out how to make robotics a regular part of your curriculum!
The Maker Movement is incredibly powerful for something that just got its (official) start only a few years back. It’s completely user-driven and becoming a cornerstone for success in the 21st century. MakerEd is a form of STEM Education that combines and embodies the spirit of acquiring necessary knowledge through hands-on trial and error.
Teaching with technology can be intimidating for some teachers, especially if they are new to it, feel the pressure from society or lack the creative ideas for weaving the products into the curriculum. It’s okay to feel that kind of anxiety though—in fact, it’s perfectly normal! Just remember that there’s no wrong way to explore teaching with technology.
Technology is not something tangible you can pick up and put down as you please. It’s not a defined, solid object. And, as the world transitions into a tech-first approach to solving many of its most pressing problems, technology is no longer an option. It’s a tool that can be used to solve these daily problems and students need additional skills.
For many teachers, using educational technology in the classroom is the norm. For the vast majority of today’s educators, however, it’s a headache-inducing afterthought. The fact is, however, that using technology to teach necessary concepts in a modern fashion has its advantages. The issue isn’t really with what teachers teach, but more with how they teach.
Coding is a central skill that’s becoming more and more necessary in order for workers to thrive in this increasingly technological era. It’s on its way to (if it has not already) becoming a worldwide language—and an undeniable component of global culture. So, recently, enthusiasm for teaching coding skills in the classroom has grown—a lot—and kids are benefitting.
