With the Google Expeditions VR app discontinuing back in 2021, students and teachers were searching for any suitable replacements. With it already serving as one of the best options in terms of hardware, the RobotLAB VR Expeditions 2.0 kits also provide amazing educational experiences in K–12 classrooms with software that’s immersive, vivid, and easy to use.
The Owl Labs team originally developed their 360-degree cameras and the software for use outside education—typically for corporate settings. As the pandemic and remote and hybrid learning set in, however, this tech quickly helped to redefine how kids accessed instruction. Jump to today and their virtual meeting tools continue to positively impact student engagement.
Kahoot! is an online review platform that helps teachers make learning fun, engaging, and shareable through games. It was created with the principles of social play and learning as a main goal by helping educators create and inspire inclusive environments in which students can collaborate with each other and get genuinely excited about learning. Read on to learn more!
Though modeled after the Google Expeditions system, the Expeditions 2.0 VR kits feature new technical and instructional upgrades as the RobotLAB team designed them based on the feedback from thousands of educators. Plus, among the 700 Expeditions 2.0 field trips, teachers can find relevant content that aligns with their lesson plans, which we’ll explore more inside.
The Glowforge 3D laser printers are some of the most capable high school STEM solutions we offer. Using these machines, kids easily create tangible designs from tons of different materials and each one helps CTE educators unlock truly future-focused instruction in makerspaces or classrooms. And, they’re quicker than 3D printers with lasers that cut and engrave rapidly.
With real improvements to availability, value, reliability, and effectiveness in today’s STEM tools for students, it might be easy to make purchases from the first store you find. Over the years, however, we like to think that we’ve created a very unique shopping experience for teachers and want to make sure you’re aware of the benefits of buying EdTech tools from a reseller.
The importance of SEL is highly touted and many educational leaders have created positions within their schools or districts to ensure that all students are appropriately managing and processing their various emotions. For this reason, we thought we’d take a look at the online social-emotional learning platform known as StrongMinded in this week’s Rising Resources post.
Google Jamboard is part of the G Suite for Education and features its own interactive whiteboard for teachers to use in their instruction. Even as most remote learning has faded away, it still makes a super helpful tool for many 21st century teachers. So, this week, we explored their Jamboard platform a bit further, including the variety of benefits it helps educators capture.
Capitalizing on a great deal of genuine learning opportunities that, perhaps surprisingly, we can find within television shows and movies, ClassHook is a platform that helps turn the programs kids are watching into educational experiences. While TV usually serves as a break from learning, there’s also knowledge weaved in and ClassHook helps you find top media resources.
While there are fewer kits than with the Google Expeditions line, the quality of each is important. Currently, we offer three TD Synnex kits on our store, differentiated only by the number of units in each one of them (10, 20, and 30). Perhaps most notably, each of the three kits comes with the same set of components and the ExpeditionsPro app pre-loaded on all devices.
