We’ve decided to do a bit more in terms of bulk EdTech fulfillment. Our research has told us that teachers like to have a number of compatible EdTech products for students to use collaboratively. So, we thought ‘Hey, that’s a pretty good idea,’ and set out to create custom tech bundles for our partners. Here are some of our favorites.
Their top-notch designs, user-friendly integration, and expanding variety of STEM-based projects ensures that every student will remain engaged and learning while interactively doing something they enjoy! With these STEM kits from Fischertechnik, students get to follow the blueprints, design new devices, and build everyday tools, like hair dryers and windshield wipers!
The Kano team now has a bundled kit complete with a screen and we put that to the test in our office for this edition of the Eduporium Experiment. Just following the instructions was enough because the included illustrations are very clear and easy to follow. I didn’t have to Google anything or spend any extra time pulling up YouTube videos.
VR can send students to new environments, to landmarks they’ve never seen before, and to sites they’d otherwise never be able to explore. And, that’s just what a basic viewer is capable of doing. Bring the incredible capabilities of the Oculus Rift VR Bundle into the conversation and it becomes a whole new ballgame.
If there are two students in the classroom and one is following along, trying to stay awake while a classmate recites a passage from their textbook and the other one is living the concepts the first one is reading about, which do you think is more fully engaged? No, this isn’t a trick question. The answer is Student 2 and the reason is active learning opportunities.
Some educators prefer to stay away from screens altogether. With that being the case, how can we make sure students are still getting the 21st century education that they need to succeed? Luckily, early childhood education companies, like Primo Toys, are aware of this issue, and they care very much about making this type of critical education accessible.
To step into a virtual reality experience is to transport yourself to a whole new world—you can become as small as an atom or fly as far away as the farthest planet in our solar system. We have the technology to literally make the world our oyster. Today, I took a look at one of the VR products we offer in the Eduporium store, the View-Master.
Besides hosting our own virtual workshop and participating in one regional webinar, we made our way to a handful of amazing conferences all around the Northeast. And, everywhere we went, the enthusiasm we were all met with made all the hard work worth it. Let’s recap it, shall we? Head inside for all the details on these amazing events and sessions.
The Eduporium team is thrilled to announce the first after-school VR event that lets you learn, play, collaborate, and meet fellow EdTech leaders who are curious about virtual reality’s uses in education. Stop by on your way home after school on Thursday, April 13. Come meet Caitlin Krause, a noted educational industry expert and teacher.
Your kids can learn key computer science skills. They don’t even need the most expensive equipment. They don’t need to be a genius. All they need is a true love for playtime, a knack for creativity, and one of our NEW SAM Labs kits! Coding is the No. 1 skill today’s kids will need to know, so we’ve added these two kits to the Eduporium store to help them get started.
