They have their lives next to you but these are their own lives already. They have their own friends, and own interests. And—computers along with this fascination with electronics.

To help educators acquire innovative and classroom-friendly technology tools, Eduporium is an excellent free option. We give back a portion of our profits to schools, and we offer the entire school community no-hassle access to academic discounts on technology from hundreds of vendors. All your school has to do is sign-up. Why do we do it? We care.
Imagine a school fundraiser—your traditional bake sales, auctions, or other things you’ve tried. If the burden falls on the parents to supply all the items being sold, there may not be enough to sell! If it’s a bake sale, it’s always a bit of a gamble (what if everyone else is allergic to nuts? It’s no one’s fault). Who coordinates it? There’s a lot of details and hopefully this can help.
We’re very excited that our new website is up and we can finally embrace our vision of bringing the best educational technology to K12 schools and families. Along with our website, we’re also launching our blog. We have so much to say—we’re parents, we’re geeks, we know what it’s like trying to find out how technology fits into education.
