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.
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
Though they do have differing views when it comes to what the most important components of learning should be, we think it’s safe to say that both groups want education to be fun! And, that’s very appropriate because the subject of this week’s Rising Resources blog is Funology—an online database for educators to find hands-on STEAM projects.
Ordering a bunch of new technology and then throwing it into a classroom isn’t necessarily a great idea. Children might be excited, but it’s also highly unlikely that they (or their teachers) will know how to make the most of this technology or even know how to use it at all. With advances in EdTech and a greater focus on preparing students for the future.
We’re very excited to share their stories and their work with you and hope it will give more educators encouragement to try something new in the classroom. This month, we spoke to Meghan Kestner, an Education Specialist from California, who isn’t afraid to try new tools in her classroom! Keep reading to learn more about her!
The awardee for the month of February is Laura Luker, who is a librarian at the Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School in Hadley, MA! Laura works with students of different ages starting out in elementary school and all the way up through high school, and some of the students are definitely challenged with some pretty cool projects each year.
This week, we explored Pear Deck, which is a popular online platform that allows teachers to create interactive content, like slide shows, to better engage every student in the classroom. It’s very user-friendly and robust, making Pear Deck a great way to help teachers, too! Keep reading to learn more about it and how to use it in the classroom.
In 2019, how do we measure the effectiveness of education or of EdTech for that matter? Well, one of the greater goals of today’s teaching is to maximize student engagement by drawing on all available tools. This includes technology in a number of different forms, like online platforms, educational apps, and our favorite—hands-on STEM tools.
These days, it’s all about engagement. If you’re not getting students’ attention and keeping it, there’s a pretty good chance real learning is not happening. Like with adults, educators are now relying more and more on video (short videos to be more specific) in order to get and hold the attention of their students and Flipgrid can really help.
We’re just a few days away from one of our most exciting EdTech events of the year! For the first time, we’ll be attending and exhibiting at the FETC in Orlando starting this Monday. The Eduporium team will be at Booth 1451 on both Monday and Tuesday with plenty of EdTech tools for attendees to learn about and try, including something brand new!
