The MERGE cubes and headsets are bringing learning to life in all kinds of ways for our students and it is very exciting to think about all of the experiences we will bring to them in the future months. As we plan for lots of fantastic opportunities with the MERGE cubes and headsets, I have been spending time brainstorming and working on ideas and plans for learning, creating and collaborating between the MERGE resources, CoSpaces, Tinkercad and more. One of my favorite places to head is to the MERGE website, where this is a special place for librarians and other educators.

. *** The Periodic Table of AR/VR iOS Apps Vol.2. A year ago I co-authored The Periodic Table of AR and VR iOS Apps with my good friend and serial innovator Mark “ICT Evangelist” Anderson.
Part of Mark’s expanding line-up of educational Periodic Tables resources, it was launched at BETT London 2018 by Mark. I then delivered my own presentation on the project inside Engage as a part of the #CPDinVR events. This free resource was incredibly well-received and was shared thousands of times across social media. You can find my original article about the first AR/VR Periodic Table here and Mark’s original article here.
We soon began discussing the potential for a follow-up since we didn’t have room to include every app we wanted to (plus new ones had even launched at BETT within days of us publishing!)

Many people are still trying to wrap their heads around it. Teachers are still wondering, “I teach science (or I teach technology, or I teach math), so am I teaching STEM?” I recently finished co-teaching a STEM/STEAM eCourse with colleague Nancy Flanagan and guest Dr. 36 Resources for STEM Project-Based Learning Activities. If you’re a teacher or homeschool parent looking for ideas for STEM project-based learning activities, then you’ve come to the right place! We’ve compiled a list of terrific STEM project-based learning activities that can be tailored to meet your students’ needs.
Our list breaks down the learning activities by subject: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Scholastic. Middle School Science. Siemens STEM Day. 20 Fun Activities for Learning with Legos. Yes, Lego, the most popular toy ever made is also ridiculously educational!
In fact, when coming up with this list it was difficult to limit it to just 20 activities. The educational possibilities of the humble Lego are seemingly endless. If you have kids, the odds are pretty good that you have at least a few Lego sets lying around (though hopefully not on the floor—those things hurt to step on!) Curiscope US & Worldwide.
