Rising Resources

the eduporium rising resources blog series


Our Rising Resources series is a bi-weekly exploration of new and exciting educational resources. We designed this series to help creative educators find new tools to use in their instruction. Whether they're looking for a cool new technology, a digital STEM platform, or tools they can use to save themselves time, we've built a long list of instructional resources for today's classrooms. Every other Tuesday, we release our latest Rising Resources blog post on a helpful EdTech solution. The subjects of this series feature a wide range of topics and tools. From improving teacher organization to enabling VR-based learning, there are truly hundreds of educational technologies that could be helping teachers expand their reach and amplify student engagement. And, we've included Rising Resources that students can use on computers as well as mobile devices to help drive inclusion.
Many of these are completely free resources for teachers. Though some of them are paid, we prioritize highlighting the positive features of each of them. While every Rising Recourse we cover might not fit well in every classroom, we're confident there's something helpful for everyone. The tools we explore and evaluate can certainly help educators create new and engaging experiences. Whether they're teaching students math, English, history, or leading a technology class, it's helpful to keep up to date with emerging teaching tools. With this series, we also aim to help educators learn more about the latest trends in educational technology. Whether that's AI in education or school esports, you can bet we'll share our thoughts and explore solutions.
