Educational technology has, of course, completely transformed how today's K-12 students learn. From basic 3D printers and virtual reality systems to simple coding robots and screen-free building tools, countless numbers of educators have been able to affect education for the better and help children develop transferrable skills for the real world. Since EdTech now covers so many areas, however, there often remains a lot for teachers to learn about and explore. Not every technology tool will impact your students in the same ways, nor will they enhance every single lesson. It's more about finding the right solutions for the right situations and building high-quality instruction from there. In this section, we cover everything from specific classroom STEM kits to insights on integrating EdTech tools in teaching. And, we'll continue adding new resources with thoughts on the many branches of the EdTech tree.
EdTech resources are constantly impacting student development and redefining how educators can engage them. Besides those hands-on technologies, digital tools and platforms also play a huge role in learning. From coding or artificial intelligence to social-emotional learning, the instant availability of EdTech resources generates many revolutionary opportunities all throughout the world of K-12 and higher education. When it comes down to it, however, equitable access to technology can be a complete game changer. With these opportunities, students can build the hard and soft skills to navigate our increasingly complex world. And, no matter how complex or simplistic EdTech activities are, they can help catalyze that development. We encourage you to browse the content below and reach out to our team with any questions.

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.
