Our longest running current blog series, the Eduporium Weekly is your source for relevant education topics. Whether it's related to EdTech, STEM, SEL, makerspaces, soft skills, equity, CTE, or any number of other things, you are sure to find some relevant content here. Our team remains committed to providing intriguing and up-to-date opinions and perspectives on the most important topics—whether they're technology-based or not. Every week, we share our thoughts about those key topics in education. Giving educators a Saturday morning read, many of our Eduporium Weekly posts reflect recent happenings, important updates, or, sometimes, some fun revelations. We're also very fortunate to serve a community of such committed educators. For that reason, we strive to keep our thoughts and content fresh. And, this section of our blog is a great place to go for just that.
Whatever is happening in education, we believe our committed team members help educators adjust. As we've seen, technology has a place in all types of learning—as long as educators integrate it strategically. As debates and discussions in STEAM and general education evolve, we adapt this content to continually educate, inform, and entertain. Our perspective may be a bit unique but our collective expertise on these topics is always improving. We also encourage you to browse the pages or search for a topic of your interest on the left of your screen. We certainly take pride in being up to date with what teachers are experiencing. From our entire team, we hope this content truly provides you with guidance and inspiration. Check back every weekend, as well, for the latest edition of the Eduporium Weekly.

Some districts require students to take computer science courses and plenty of others make sure they get at least some exposure to it through electives or afterschool clubs.
This week, we’re taking the Eduporium Weekly in a slightly different direction and highlighting some of the best teacher blog posts that we’ve seen in the last year or two. We’re lucky to have (kind of) become a part of a fantastic online teacher community and love all of the content on sites like We Are Teachers, Edutopia, and more.
We talked about a lot of these skills in last week’s Eduporium Weekly and now we are going to be discussing some of the ways they might be put to use.
