The MimioPro 4* interactive display is ready for classrooms, libraries, offices, and more! This cutting-edge display will help create a learning landscape that optimizes what can be done in the modern classroom.  

We are excited to announce that we've been named Overall EdTech Company of the Year in the fourth annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards. We are being recognized for our outstanding efforts in helping teachers and students continue to focus on what's important - teaching and learning.  

One of the biggest events of the year for educators is happening in a couple of weeks – ISTELive 22! With over 25 featured speakers and 650+ sessions, educators who want to delve into all things tech for supporting instruction will learn strategies and research-based practices, as well as explore activities that can inspire change.  

Coleg Cambria, one of the largest colleges in the U.K., has been on a 5-year journey with Clevertouch interactive technology. The first Clevertouch interactive displays were installed in 2016, replacing several existing technologies that included Philips interactive panels and Smartboards. Coleg Cambria opted for displays from Clevertouch Technologies because of their value and rich features that come as standard. 

In this lesson Meredith Williams, Boxlight MimioMaster, shares how she used the MyStemKits Density Cubes Kit to help her students demonstrate understanding of the concept of density. 

As part of its ongoing commitment to educational excellence, the prestigious Bury Grammar School (Lancashire, UK) began a major overhaul of its technology assets before the global pandemic hit. The challenges of COVID and blended learning only accelerated demand for better technology, and the school group responded by signing up to a customized 1:1 device plan supplied by educational technology specialists, IDNS. 

In this lesson Meredith Williams, Boxlight MimioMaster, shares how she used the MyStemKits Cells: Plant Kit and Cells: Animal Kit to help her students review key concepts. 

Many educators envision a “dream” learning space where materials, resources, and tools truly enhance the instructional experience for every student. What could that space include? A variety of manipulatives for hands-on learning, interactive displays for dynamic collaboration activities, and STEM equipment like 3D printers to boost creativity. Of course, the “reality” budget doesn’t always align with the “dream” classroom. Educators have learned to look outside of school budgets to acquire the materials needed to keep the fires of learning motivation going. For example, Grants.gov is a valuable resource for finding various federal grants that can be searched by category, funding, eligibility, and agency. Award amounts range, and deadlines vary.  

About the Author: Meredith Williams, an 8th grade science teacher at Freedom Middle School (Orlando, FL), specializes in integrating MimioSTEM solutions in her science instruction. To encourage her students to think critically and creatively about problems through science exploration, Williams incorporates a variety of 3D-printed manipulatives, so her students have something hands-on to observe, analyze, and form ideas around. Williams also regularly implements and provides feedback on MyStemKits lessons and activities, which she uses in conjunction with her 3D printer. In the coming months, she’ll share her and her students’ experiences using the MyStemKits STEM solution. In this lesson, Williams shares how she used the Gliders Kit. 

Elisabeth McClure, Gifted Specialist with the Northwest School District (House Springs, MO), recently completed a months-long project that originated with identifying real-life problems in their community. The goal of the project was to help her students envision themselves as part of the creative solution process, as well as spark their interest in community-related issues they can take an active role in solving.
