At Eduporium, we serve educators in a number of ways. At the top of our list is making sure they have easy access to all the EdTech they need in one place. Since there are hundreds of STEM tools on our store, we welcome feedback from teachers who have used them so we know we’re always getting them the technology that’s best for them.
Within the last couple of months, we’ve been able to take our partnership with DJI further by adding their new Tello EDU drone to our store. This drone is designed specifically for use in education and combines elements of both piloting and programming. Students can use two different apps to create simple programs in Swift, Python, or Scratch.
The Root Robot is a dynamic teaching tool in education. Not only can it help students learn multiple coding concepts with graphical, computational, and full text coding options, it can be programmed to draw and climb whiteboards! Right now, we’re offering qualified educators the chance to try a Root Robot in their classroom.
We’re constantly monitoring these developments and assessing how new technology can be used in the classroom to advance 21st century education. In the first installment of a new mini video series, hear from Eduporium co-founders on the importance of STEM education and how we can help affect the futures of today’s students
DJI has intrigued both hobbyists and STEM enthusiasts with their MAVIC, SPARK, and Phantom drones, but now they’ve added something new to their offerings. Their Tello EDU drone is designed exclusively for use in STEM education and provides both teachers and students with a new and exciting way to learn about piloting—and programming!
Wouldn’t it be great if teachers could make more money than they do? Well, until that happens, there are, in fact, some ways they can do just that, including using the site that’s the subject of this Rising Resources blog, Teachers Pay Teachers! There’s no doubt that TPT has become a staple in the lives of many of today’s educators and here’s why.
Though it seems like it might be too challenging or expensive to implement drones into STEM learning, the fact is that it’s no more difficult than adding more traditional STEAM tools. Aside from securing places to fly them, your biggest challenge might just be deciding on a model or two. But, don’t you worry—we’re here to highlight some of the best ones.
Kinetic City is a web-based science program that teaches a variety of science concepts via challenges, games, and activities. The theme of the program is “knowledge-eating viruses destroying our world’s science” with the solution being to complete the games and projects to “beat the bugs and set things right.”
As some teachers may know, the fall season means cooler weather, longer days, and all the EdTech conferences you can handle. Since we see so many educators at conferences during the months of October and November, we would not be surprised if you already knew that. And, yes, we are going to be at a lot of conferences in the coming months.
When you think about it, the activities students can take part in using LEGOs are very much in line with current educational standards—especially those that deal with STEM. Now, there’s a new option for teaching engineering in early education. The kits from BrickLAB are packed with legitimate opportunities and now available on our store!
