Digital Resources for Educators & to Share with Families |
|
We sifted through and pulled out the educator-specific professional development opportunities and digital learning and teaching tools aimed at educators to create this list for Texas educators. We will continue to update as we receive resources.
|
|
Our team has also gone through the massive lists of resources to try to compile an easy-to-use and more succinct version of recommended STEM resources for families. You're welcome to share this with the families you work with and your networks. We will continue to update as we receive resources.

Educator Resources: Elementary School |
|
September 2, 4 - 5 p.m.
For teachers of grades 4 - 12. Flipgrid, Bitmoji, ThingLink, EdPuzzle… These virtual resources may be familiar or sound like a foreign language, but they’re becoming increasingly important as education transitions more and more to the digital landscape. In this webinar, we will share engaging ways of integrating these technologies with talkSTEM resources in order to get students interacting with the world around them. Participants will get sample customized creations using these platforms for their own use.
September 3, 4 - 5 p.m.
For teachers of grades 3 - 8. Dr. Koshi Dhingra, Founder and Director of talkSTEM, and Dr. Paul Fishwick, UTDallas Distinguished Chair at the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communications (ATEC), will present during this pre-recorded webinar. They will share some specific Computational Thinking activities (involving no coding at all) and lesson plan ideas suitable for in-class and online learning. There will be time for a live Q&A. Participants will receive a pdf of supplementary worksheets as well as access to short sample videos.
