Here, you'll find video resources for enhancing many aspects of 21st century education. Coupled with context that helps teachers understand more fully, these videos are valuable for all. Whether it's recordings of webinars or our own original content, you can find it here. Highlighted in the Videos section is a recent series of webinars. Our team collaborated with some of our top EdTech partners to host quick broadcasts on key education topics in 2021. They include an array of topics, like integrating technology, finding your balance, and maximizing learning in different environments. You can find resources on using the Terrapin Robots, Ozobot Evo, micro:bit V2, RobotLAB VR system, and more. As digital learning has really exploded since 2020, we believe these videos serve as a quick way for educators to remain up to date.
Besides hosting webinars, we also enjoy utilizing this section of the blog for sharing our own thoughts. So many factors have gone in to the incorporation and evolution of Eduporium. So, for that reason, you'll also find some videos of our founders discussing these key topics. Have you ever wondered about the Eduporium mission, for example? We won't spoil that whole video but it does often center largely on providing equitable, accessible, and real-world learning experiences for today's students. Or, how do we determine which STEAM solutions we'll offer on our store? We have a video breaking down this whole decision-making process as well. We hope you enjoy these videos and encourage you to look through or share them with professional colleagues. Check back in the coming weeks as well as we aim to add more content to this collection.
Over the last couple months, we’ve teamed up with professionals from some of our top partners to bring educators a webinar series focused on addressing social-emotional learning and STEAM education. Throughout this time, we’ve worked with some great colleagues and, now that it’s wrapped up, we wanted to put all the resources in one place.
To wrap up our back-to-school STEAM and SEL webinar series, we partnered with our friends from the Ozobot Education team. Led by Melissa Toohey and Tara Reynen, we discussed the importance of CS education, creating SEL connections with the Ozobot Evo, and how the Ozobot Classroom LMS helps simplify coding instruction and prep work.
We were joined by iRobot’s Anna Elzer and Daniella Bonazzoli, who shared the iRobot story, including how, despite being known for the world-famous Roomba robot, every member of their organization is also committed to education. With help from the audience, they discussed the Root robots, the tech within them, creating SEL connections, and more.
If you couldn’t make it to the broadcast or want to relive the excellent presentation, the full replay is inside. We’ll cover the highlights, including how the BirdBrain materials align to standards and offer a low floor and high ceiling. As for using the BirdBrain robots in social-emotional learning, there are close connections to the five pillars of SEL.
Led by Nate Ubowski and Greg Rousos, learn how teachers can use the Sphero BOLT, RVR, and Mini for robotics lessons in remote learning. Going beyond the 4 C’s to spark curiosity and create a greater sense of community improvement, the presenters also covered how Sphero’s robots allow for efficient STEAM instruction.
Our webinars have been well attended so far starting with the Ozobot broadcast last December. We’re very grateful for the efforts of our partners and, now, we’re looking to expand these broadcasts. Head inside to cast your vote for what you want us to cover next as we work to expand our webinar series this spring.
In our latest webinar, we were joined by Katie Henry, micro:bit’s Head of Partner Engagement, and Diane Horvath, a technology specialist. The pair discussed many of the educational possibilities when it comes to using the micro:bit in the classroom and attendees from around the world joined in and contributed to the great discussion.

Creators of some of the most reliable, powerful, and popular 3D printers, the MakerBot name is one of the most respected when it comes to education. In this webinar, they discussed some of the advancements in the 3D printing space, including its role in prototyping and modeling in many different industries. Watch the recording to learn more!
The Wonder Workshop team has gone above and beyond in ensuring their coding and robotics tools (or, at the very least, digital variations of them all) remain available to students who might be doing their learning from home. The availability of their Dash’s Neighborhood platform enables students to explore coding concepts and create the same authentic programs online.
In the webinar, a lot is covered and we hope there is some helpful information for what you need when it comes to coding education in remote learning. Thanks to how it’s evolved along with the emergence of the Ozobot Classroom learning management system, teachers and students have been able to continue making use of this STEAM solution.
