CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.,
Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Learning BladeĀ® is honored to be recognized as
a Top STEM Solution in 2022 by Education Technology Insights.
Learning Blade, a product of Thinking Media, has worked hard to
engage younger students and provide exposure to science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Computer Science
(CS), and Career and Technical Education (CTE). As we know,
students can't be what they can't see and Learning Blade helps give
them an opportunity to learn about all the different high-demand
STEM/CS/CTE careers that are out there today.
"We are proud to have received this reward in recognition
of our mission to continue to expose students to high-demand
STEM/CS/CTE careers in support of building the future
workforce," remarked Sheila
Boyington, CEO of Thinking Media and creator of Learning
Blade.
Learning Blade provides educators access to over 400 interactive
online lessons and teacher lesson plans that are aligned to state
academic standards for grades 5-9. Though this is the core student
population focus, many educators in K-4 and 10-12 grades have found
ways to utilize these resources to promote career awareness as
well. There is also many project-based learning projects and
hands-on projects using common and affordable materials.
When the pandemic hit, Learning Blade was able to quickly adapt
and initiate their Backpack App that allowed students, especially
those with limited to no internet access, to be able to complete
their work remotely by downloading the lessons while at school or
hotspot and complete them offline. This is a game changer for rural
and urban students.
This month, Learning Blade also announced the expansion of their
current Computer Science-related resources by adding a 5-week
20-hour Introduction to Coding course. Aimed at
7th and 8th grade students, this course
provides educators with a robust coding experience and 30+ unique
lesson plans including online and offline activities to keep their
students at any level engaged. This was created in support of
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson's Computer Science
initiative.
Learning Blade is currently available free to all educator
statewide in AL, AR, ID, LA, MS, MO, SC, and TN. There are also
different areas of many other states that are already signed up to
be able to use this great resource.
