OAESA and The Earth Dome (The Earth Balloon)

  
  
  
  
  
  

 

Earth BalloonJust a quick note today, as we are out of the office. We are in Sandusky, Ohio exhibiting at the Ohio Association of Elementary Administrators (OAESA) annual conference. It has been a great day so far, meeting many current clients (old friends) and many more who have not run across Mobile Ed Productions before (new friends).

As an extra bonus this year we brought along and set up our Earth Dome and it has been a great hit. The Earth Dome (also known as The Earth Balloon) is a giant inflatable globe that stands 19’ tall and is covered in high-resolution photographic imagery taken from space. The lovely Kathleen Day, from Springfield, Ohio, has joined us today. Kathleen is one of our very talented presenters who bring The Earth Dome to schools throughout the Midwest every year. She is a delight and we are happy she has been able to join us today.

All morning we have had a steady stream of excited principals touring the Earth Dome and all have been equally impressed by the educational value of this great teaching tool!

The Earth Dome is one of several environmental programs Mobile Ed produces. In light of all the current events around the globe, from the oil spill in the gulf to the changes in our climate, the company is proud to be able to contribute to students’ awareness of the importance of these issues.

Tomorrow – Authors and Writing programs!

The earth balloon sounds like something my students would enjoy. Do the kids get to go inside the earth balloon? I live in a small town outside of Knoxville, TN, do you come to this area? If so, what time of the year? What's the cost of an all day school assembly? Looking forward to your reply! Thank You.

Thanks for asking, Wanda! Yes, on both counts! The students are taken inside the Earth as part of the program, and, yes, we do indeed visit Tennessee with programs. Costs and availability vary by state, as our costs are higher in some areas. In Tennessee and in most of the country we currently charge $695 for a day with The Earth Dome. There are never travel or any other additional fees with Mobile Ed. I will get in touch with you directly to answer your questions about availability.
