For example buying a single book set on a topic versus using Chrombooks to have infinite access to texts and programs. There are so many programs we would have access to that would allow students to work collaboratively on writing or STEAM projects or exploring the world we live in. To keep up with our science and technology PhET Sims to increase STEAM literacy. Teachers can filter simulations by grade level and topic and use them to explore different ideas in the classroom. The goal of this organization is to increase STEAM literacy worldwide and create engaging interactive content that encourages students to ask questions and explore topics beyond what the common core demands. Another program is Learn About the WorldThe goal of Learn Around the World is to use technology to connect students and educators globally. They have events and collaborative projects where students can work with people in different countries, and virtual field trips for exploring foreign lands. LATW also has guest speakers and private events that teachers can take advantage of. Imagine speaking with someone who lives in Buenos Aires while learning about Argentina. Your students can ask questions and use their curiosity to spur discussion.
