Recent issues with student attention have inspired teachers to incorporate more audiovisual elements, like podcasts and videos, into the classroom. Research shows that interacting with videos in class improves students’ engagement and retention of STEM content, as well as increasing class satisfaction. Look inside for tips on using video elements in the classroom.
This week, for our Rising Resources feature, we explored the Screencastify screen recording platform and how it helps K–12 educators boost student learning. Since it takes only seconds for students to create, edit, and share original videos by using the software to capture the content from their own screens, Screencastify is a legitimate favorite among K–12 digital teachers.
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.
Continuing with our Rising Resources series, today we’re going to be featuring a service that’s basically like a YouTube for teachers. The video production and sharing website, SchoolTube, is a valuable resource for educators and one that can help save them time and boost their creativity in 21st century instruction.
In this week’s Eduporium Experiment, we are taking a deeper look at Stikbot and its potential to enrich hands-on education in the early grades. Besides being an entertaining, posable toy that allows kids to use stop motion animation anywhere, it’s also a great way for them to learn to work in small groups, problem solve, and more.
Creative thinking, self-expression, and independent learning are all essential ingredients in student success! Here to help students develop that all-important creative streak is Stikbot—a personable, posable toy that brings a stop motion animation studio to your own living room or classroom.

Staff Writer Eli Kell-Abrams sheds light on the world of video production.”Oh the times, they are a-changin’.” It was as true in 1964, when Bob Dylan first said it, as it is now. It’s a new day, a day filled with screens, technology, and flashing lights. A day where famous books are now being overshadowed by the motion pictures made about them.
