I love Lakeshore Learning products. Getting the new Lakeshore catalog is like Christmas to me. I recently attended an event hosted by Lakeshore Learning to learn about their new products and they did not disappoint. Their products just simply get better and better.
With all the new standards and emphasis on new skills. I was so excited as an educator to see that Lakeshore has a whole section of products dedicated to STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. I am really into hands on learning, open ended questions and having students explore and discover. These products are amazing for encouraging this.
Lakeshore offered me the chance to check out one of their new items and I jumped at the chance. I got the Lakeshore Smart Pencil and Smart Pencil Interactive Learning Cards.
This interactive learning pencil boosts skills—and gives instant feedback! Just touch the pencil to any Lakeshore Smart Pencil card to begin an engaging lesson…complete with cues and positive reinforcement.
Watch children independently master alphabet and letter skills…with our interactive learning cards! Designed for use with our Smart Pencil (sold separately), the cards also include a preprogrammed activity cartridge. To play, children simply slide the cartridge into the Smart Pencil, then press the pencil to the card to begin a voice-guided activity with easy-to-follow cues, positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement and instant feedback.
I love watching how the kids interact with these products. Not only are they a great learning tool, its also become a way to just spend quality time.
