Top Ten Featured Products at EDExpo 2015 Picked by Educators

EDMarket provided my travel expenses so that I could attend the EDExpo 2015 event. All opinions are my own.

Last week I flew to Atlanta, GA to attend the EDExpo 2015, where the latest educational resources, materials, toys, and ideas are shared. A group of educational bloggers were invited as guests to check out some of these amazing educational resources. Not only were we invited, but we were also asked to vote for our top 10 favorites.

I have to say that I think that bringing school and homeschooling educators who are bloggers to the EdExpo 2015 this year was a brilliant idea. Who better o judge what our students need in the classroom or our children at home than the people who educate them on a daily basis. As a former teacher and now homeschooling mom, I was excited to see what new resources, games, and ideas I got to see.

Here are the Top Ten Featured Products at EDExpo 2015 Picked by Educators:

Once those words are mastered another set of words are added and added into the stories. By the end the child would have mastered over 180 words.

Fidgets can help with generalized aniety disorder, ADD, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dementia, and Autism. They are also great as a stress reducer.
