Our favorite The Learning Journey toys for my toddler. As we enter back to school season I am gearing up for more in-depth busy toys for my toddler. Our journey as homeschoolers means I have got to keep my toddler entertained while still encouraging her to learn. It’s important for me to start building those educational days from the start. When my daughter hit two I knew that I wanted her to be enriched in an environment that she can thrive in. We read, have crafts, enjoy pretend play and use toys that foster her education every single day. Today I am sharing my favorites from The Learning Journey.

My thoughts 

It’s been important for me to really streamline our toy selection. I love that The Learning Journey toys are sturdy and hold substance in our playroom as educational toys. These aren’t toys that will get lost in the shuffle of other toys either. These toys help bring imaginative play to the forefront while keeping my child thoroughly entertained. The simplicity of the stacking cubes has been her favorite toy. She will count, build, talk about each cube and turn them into stacked houses. Really you can’t go wrong with any of these featured toys. They fit the bill as being the perfect transition toys from baby to toddler.

31 Best Educational Toys for Toddlers, Preschoolers and Big Kids

Parents, kids and Good Housekeeping Institute pros agree these learning toys are the most fun!

To find toys that strike the right balance, the Good Housekeeping Institute Little Lab tests toys throughout the year. For parents, they look for quality of construction, ease of use and frustration level. For kids, they make sure that the toys are fun (the most important factor), and something kids return to and are engaged with for long periods of time. They're mostly geared for little ones but there are a few selections for older kids to keep in mind for the future (or for older siblings). If these aren't enough, you can also check the Good Housekeeping Institute's age-by-age guide to toys and gifts for more recommendations, including STEM toys , sensory toys , family board games , and gifts for 1-year-olds and 2-year-olds (including gifts for toddlers and even stocking stuffers for toddlers !) all the way up to gifts for teens .

These are the the best educational toys for toddlers, preschoolers and elementary school students in 2022:

About Getting Smart

Getting smart collective, impact update, expressing learning journeys through digital portfolios.

• Future of Learning

A few years ago I started having students in my Spanish II, III, and IV classes work on creating a digital portfolio using Google Sites. At the time, I was working on my Master’s degree and had to design my own Google site portfolio to show how I met all of the instructional technology standards addressed in my coursework. Aside from my student teaching experience many years ago, when I used a photo album for my portfolio, I have not needed to create one since. While the goal of creating a portfolio then is the same as it is now, paper portfolios are not as easily accessible as digital formats. As I finished my own digital portfolio in 2016, I thought that having students create their own would not only build their language skills but also better prepare them for their future.

The idea came to me initially after we used Wikispaces to create a travel agency in Spanish III. As students in groups built a “real” service, they were more engaged in learning, working collaboratively, and applying their learning in a more authentic way. They could all access the site from wherever they were and update it as needed. Once I had them creating together virtually, I decided to provide additional opportunities for them to build other essential technology skills and create their online presence. From that point on I started to use Google Sites as a way to not only house their Spanish projects but to guide them to create their own digital portfolios, so they had evidence of their high school learning journey when they graduated.

Benefits of portfolios

In our work as educators, it is important that we help students to build their skills over time and focus more on the learning process rather than the end product. The idea behind digital portfolios is to provide a space where students can build a narrative of their work. Using digital tools to build portfolios  enables students to be better able to track the work that they’ve done, to find it when they need it, and to of course share their work with their family, classmates, the school community, and in the workplace.

Students will become more confident in their learning as they build social-emotional learning  (SEL) skills, specifically in self-awareness. Students will focus on setting goals and decision-making when it comes to deciding what to put into their digital portfolio. As they explore the evidence of the work that they have done, their focus begins to shift to the process of learning itself and encourages more self-reflection. It is important that we help guide students as they prepare their portfolios by engaging them in conversations and self-assessments.

The use of portfolios promotes a culture of learning in the classroom. As students prepare their portfolios, they can share their work with peers, reflect on their own growth and seek feedback from one another.  Through these experiences, students develop a greater awareness of their interests and skillsets, and seeing authentic evidence of learning will help students as they plan their next steps after high school.

Creating the right space

There are a variety of tools for creating digital portfolios including the use of tools for blogging, content curation, presentation, or video responses. We can quickly get started with Google Slides, which is something I had done with students in my Spanish I classes. In my application to become an ISTE Certified Educator, I had to create a portfolio showing how I had met each of the ISTE Standards. I created several separate Google Slides presentations which enabled me to see my growth and more easily share it with others.

Here are some options to consider that will encourage students to create and share their learning in a way that is more authentic and meaningful.

• Buncee  enables students to create a multimedia representation of their learning. Using Buncee, students can upload images, documents, or record audio or video to talk about their learning. They can even add in hyperlinks to other evidence of their work all in one space. Teachers can then share individual student digital portfolio  Buncees on a Buncee board.
• Fresh Grade  offers a digital portfolio platform that includes many resources for helping students to create a representation of their work and growth over time. Students can upload work from anywhere and teachers as well as families, have access to data to help students set goals and track progress over time.
• Genially  provides many templates that would be great for students to create a portfolio that is interactive and visually engaging. Students can choose a template that enables them to display their work in a unique way with multimedia artifacts.
• Kidblog , a blogging platform, is also a great portfolio option. Students can reflect on each day, or progress in a unit, in a way that is comfortable and accessible to them at any time. It enables teachers to provide authentic and meaningful feedback through conversations in class, or as a comment posted directly to their blog post.
• Padlet  offers a digital bulletin board space where students and teachers can display evidence in a variety of formats including audio or video, as well as embedding links to projects or anything that students have created. With one link and space to house everything, it is easy to access portfolios and share them with a potential employer or for school admission.
• Spaces  is a free digital portfolio platform that provides three “spaces” (class, group, and individual) for students, teachers, and families to collaborate in learning. Students can upload a variety of media including audio, photos, videos, text, and external links as a way to document their learning. Students can also record their own thoughts as they reflect
• Wakelet  provides a space for students to add evidence of work they have done and easily share it with others. Students can upload links to projects done using digital tools, images of non-tech evidence of learning or even record a Flipgrid short video to talk about their work.

For students, these options offer a creative space to take more ownership throughout their learning journey. Students will build vital SEL  skills of self-awareness and self-management as they choose what to include in their portfolio, reflect on their work and use the portfolio to set new learning goals. It promotes the development of digital citizenship skills as students build their online presence and become more mindful of privacy.

For educators, portfolios are a good way to give authentic and meaningful feedback to students and to develop a better understanding of where each student’s strengths and needs lie. These spaces also help to build relationships as we get to know our students and their learning needs and strengths more.

Depending on the tool that is used we can track growth not just during the same school year but across multiple years. It is even a good way to help students to be more accountable in learning as they create their own space to share the work they are doing in class.

Throughout the year, students can review their portfolio and see and appreciate their growth. The digital portfolio enables students to curate their work and more easily identify their skills and abilities.

Digitalization Initiates a New Era in Learning Society Construction

On January 30, the 2024 World Digital Education Conference held a parallel session on "Education Digitalisation and Learning Society Construction" in Shanghai. More than 240 representatives from educational departments, universities, and research institutions from 35 countries and regions attended the conference. The conference focused on the theme of "Digital Education: Application, Sharing, and Innovation," and delved into theoretical and practical aspects of building a learning society in the digital age from various perspectives."

Wu Yan, Deputy Minister of China's Ministry of Education, pointed out that building a learning society is an important topic of international concern. With the increase in the level of higher education accessibility, especially due to the rapid development of information technology, the vision of "learning anytime, anywhere, and by everyone" has become a reality. In recent years, China's Ministry of Education has implemented a strategy for digital education, establishing a national smart education platform to create a digital foundation for a learning society. China has been continuously promoting the construction of learning cities, learning communities, and learning enterprises, encouraging everyone to have a passion for learning. With the world's largest scale of digital education, China is serving the world's largest learning population. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with relevant countries and international organisations to build an all-weather digital learning platform, a comprehensive digital learning space, and a fully covered digital education community, contributing to the construction of a digital education community."

Madam Camélia NTOUTOUME-LECLERCQ, Minister of National Education and Civic Training of Gabon, and Erica, Minister of Education and Immigration of New Zealand, introduced their respective countries' policies and measures in promoting digital education and lifelong learning. Mohamed, Commissioner for Education, Science, and Innovation at the African Union Commission, presented the African Union's coordination of lifelong learning practices in African countries. Isabel, Director of UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, introduced UNESCO's concepts and initiatives for building a lifelong learning society and achieving inclusive digital learning. Torunn Gautesen, Secretary-General of the International Council for Open and Distance Education, emphasised that digitisation is crucial for building a global learning society, with quality and inclusiveness being of paramount importance. The Asian Association of Open Universities and the African Distance Education Association shared their new ideas and strategies for a learning society. Macau University of Science and Technology, Korea Lifelong Learning Institute, Anadolu University of Turkey, Moscow City Pedagogical University, and The Open University of the United Kingdom shared practical cases and successful experiences in driving a learning society through digitalisation in their respective countries and schools."

Chinese and foreign participants generally believe that the rapid development of digital technology and the wave of digitalisation will bring about profound changes in education. It requires countries and international organisations to share high-quality resources and effective solutions, while also strengthening global governance in the field of digital education to address the deep challenges posed by technologies such as artificial intelligence to education and humanity. Governments, schools, and businesses worldwide should enhance cooperation and jointly create an all-weather digital learning platform to provide round-the-clock, 24/7 learning support for global learners. They should also collaborate in creating a comprehensive digital learning space, developing more intelligent and portable learning devices, enabling learners to initiate their "learning journey" with just one click, regardless of their location. Together, they should build a fully covered digital education community, establish robust mechanisms for data security, digital ethics, and privacy protection, and provide learners with more personalised and user-friendly learning services, thus ushering in a new era of a learning society."

It requires countries and international organisations to share high-quality resources and effective solutions while strengthening global governance in the field of digital education to cope with the profound challenges brought by technologies such as artificial intelligence to education and even to humanity.

Governments, schools, and businesses worldwide should strengthen cooperation and jointly build an all-weather digital learning platform to provide round-the-clock, uninterrupted learning support for learners worldwide.

They should also create a comprehensive digital learning space, develop more intelligent and portable learning terminals, enabling learners to start their “learning journey” with just one click, regardless of their location.

By building a fully covered digital education community and establishing sound mechanisms for data security, digital ethics, and privacy protection, learners can receive more personalised and user-friendly learning services, thus ushering in a new era of a learning society.
