Glogster helps students combine the two and share their talents with ease. With access to all sorts of creative elements, students can design their own interactive digital posters, giving them a unique opportunity to show what they’ve learned. Besides that, much of the content students create is completely three-dimensional!
We’re excited to share these stories with our audience while, hopefully, introducing them to some new STEM personas to follow and learn from. To kick things off, our first feature is with Jennifer Mahin, a K-5 STEM and tech teacher in Belleville, Kansas! Keep reading to learn about how she’s used STEM to help students boost SEL, future readiness, and more.
Amanda and Cathy each work at the E.T. Booth Middle School in the Cherokee County School District (GA). They work together in a number of creative ways to help empower students to create technology projects, specifically with podcasting. Despite facing some challenges, this pair of educators has found some inspiring ways of using EdTech tools!
The courses within Edsquare are designed largely for students. As they say, however, teachers can also feel free to try them. There are a lot of opportunities for them to learn about contemporary skills and developing technologies. At the moment, there are two main courses available on the Edsquare platform, focusing on AI and its role in machine learning.
Throughout the remote learning era, for better or worse, students of all ages have truly relied on many different technologies to connect, communicate, and access educational experiences. That’s left many educators, administrators, and parents wondering about the role technology will and should play as students begin to return to normal.
Whether you’re a fan of student-led learning or you’re looking for a new way to keep kids engaged, we have a potential solution to tell you about. Mentimeter is a real-time communication platform educators can use to pose questions and receive feedback from students in any type of learning environment, helping make learning more interactive.
We’re excited to share our latest Eduporium Featured Educator interview with our community! This month, we hear from Andrew McDonald, who’s an educational consultant and faculty member of the Engineering Secondary School at the University of Ottawa and, like so many other educators around the world, he’s had to get creative over the last year.
Some students need intentional effort to be made in order to settle into their learning situation, feel more comfortable participating, or use it as a base to become more social with their peers. If educators don’t have the time for one-on-one conversations, they can still communicate using Synth—the focus of this week’s Rising Resources post!
For educators, there are a lot of different tech tools they can use. Some are geared towards math education, others towards teaching tech skills, and there are plenty of others for different areas of the curriculum. One of those areas is reading assessment. And, one of those tools for gauging an accurate picture of student reading skills is Literably.
The line of RoboKind robots are unlike any others in the education world. Comprised of three facially-expressive humanoids, the RoboKind robots have helped provide support for countless students who learn differently. Each robot offers unique advantages and includes accompanying curriculum designed to open up communication and expression.
