While it’s not quite the same as the world-renowned TikTok app, Tiki-Toki, of course, shares a similar name. It’s free to sign up and it takes just a moment for students and teachers to get started. Using its desktop platform, students can create interactive timelines and personalized multimedia content to show their knowledge on key classroom topics.
Over the last couple months, we’ve teamed up with professionals from some of our top partners to bring educators a webinar series focused on addressing social-emotional learning and STEAM education. Throughout this time, we’ve worked with some great colleagues and, now that it’s wrapped up, we wanted to put all the resources in one place.
To wrap up our back-to-school STEAM and SEL webinar series, we partnered with our friends from the Ozobot Education team. Led by Melissa Toohey and Tara Reynen, we discussed the importance of CS education, creating SEL connections with the Ozobot Evo, and how the Ozobot Classroom LMS helps simplify coding instruction and prep work.
Once you get the Skoog powered on, it’s easy to pair it with a device and get started trying the various sounds. The Skoog 2.0 is incredibly unique, offering students the chance to create musical sounds with tactile touch and even try coding and mixing with different mobile apps. Plus, each of its different colored surfaces allow students to create different sounds!
An art-inspired platform, Storybird is designed to help students become better writers. One of the most important soft skills in today’s world, we know that communication is key in any future career. Since so much of today’s workforce requires a reliance on digital technologies, it’s easy to see why educators place such an emphasis on writing skills.
This first webinar is scheduled for Wednesday Sept. 15 at 3:30 PM ET. Since SEL (understandably) is very closely tied to students experiencing new emotions and communicating their thoughts, it’s connection to hands-on, exploration-based learning continues to grow. So, we’ll be focusing on how to integrate SEL in the classroom this school year.
If you’re teaching circuitry and want to get hands-on, Snap Circuits is the perfect entry into building circuits for students eight and older. Students can use these pieces to snap building blocks together to form functional circuits and there are none of the safety risks associated with more advanced wiring. Read on to learn more about the Snap Circuits system.
Today, 3D printing has all sorts of positive implications in many different industries, including medical, science, military, and more. It’s with these innovative machines that anybody can create objects that are precisely crafted to specific needs. By solving challenges with 3D printing, students can get ready for the future and learn some key skills.
The Whybricks kit is very affordable and designed for children as young as eight years old. It ships in an organized box with 2,100 pieces—enough for kids to divide up among as many as 20 of them. The system is built on the premise of using hands-on building blocks to help students develop and it includes both in-depth project guides and teacher materials.
Though it’s been available to educators and making an impact in many classrooms for some time now, the Code Kit is another perfect example of littleBits bringing circuitry, engineering, and now coding together to provide students with a learning experience that’s as engaging as it is relevant to their futures.
