Over many years, technology has evolved from telegraphs and Gutenburg\u2019s printing press, to highly advanced mobile phones that can send and receive data in seconds and 3-dimensional printing. These technologies and many others have changed our culture in tremendous ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the path of<\/span> technology-integrated life<\/b> comes <\/span>technology-integrated learning<\/b>. Many teachers have only been skimming the surface of all the technological capabilities made available to them and their students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The technologies listed below are great for the students who are <\/span>kinesthetic and visual learners!<\/b> They are listed by grade level or you can click the category below that best represents your students!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. STEM Activities best for K-3:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Early Engineering learning<\/b><\/p>\n

Grab some Legos, sculpture clay, gumdrops and toothpicks, pasta and glue, or whatever you have to spare in your classroom and <\/span>get building<\/b>! Your students will <\/span>love<\/b> the idea of getting to make (and possibly eat!) their own creations while learning the basics of <\/span>engineering<\/b>, <\/span>architectural design<\/b>, and <\/span>science<\/b>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
