Glogster helps students combine the two and share their talents with ease. With access to all sorts of creative elements, students can design their own interactive digital posters, giving them a unique opportunity to show what they’ve learned. Besides that, much of the content students create is completely three-dimensional!

Microlearning has emerged as a more widely talked about form of instruction. Though previously uncommon in K-12 education, this method has been used in other areas. By definition, microlearning consists of much shorter lessons filled with content that’s straight to the point with teachers working to eliminate any potential ‘filler’ content.

The newest MakerBot 3D printer, the MakerBot METHOD, is a powerful STEAM tool that students can use to create 3D objects, but pairing it with the MakerBot Cloud software makes it much more valuable. Using MakerBot CloudPrint, students can collaborate and 3D print objects from anywhere, including their homes needing only an Internet connection.

Among the STEAM kits that are part of the sale are the Ozobot Evo 18-Bot Classroom Pack, the Electro Dough Education Kit, and four of the in-depth 3Doodler classroom kits.

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.

We’re excited to share these stories with our audience while, hopefully, introducing them to some new STEM personas to follow and learn from. To kick things off, our first feature is with Jennifer Mahin, a K-5 STEM and tech teacher in Belleville, Kansas! Keep reading to learn about how she’s used STEM to help students boost SEL, future readiness, and

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

Once she settles in to the new school year, Terri is committed to advancing STEAM opportunities for her students. She has a number of lesson plans in mind, including challenging students to find similarities and differences in projects each of them design, helping students deepen their understanding of curricular objectives, and boosting SEL strength.
