From creating engaging lessons to fostering a welcoming environment for your students, your dedication inspires us. It’s no small feat to balance the needs of a room full of eager learners, and we see the passion you bring to shaping young minds.

Now, it’s your time!

Winter is the perfect season to explore the wonders of science, and what better way to do it than with a fun, hands-on experiment about melting ice? This simple yet fascinating project captivates students with its blend of observation, experimentation, and discovery. Hands-on experiments are a fantastic way to engage young minds during the chilly months while sneaking in lessons about science concepts like temperature, states of matter, and chemical reactions.

As the holiday season approaches, excitement fills the air—and the classroom! While this time of year is full of joy, keeping students focused and engaged can also be challenging as they eagerly anticipate winter break. By selecting relevant projects, teachers can help sustain that enthusiasm and celebrate the season together as a classroom. Here are five activities to channel that excitement into productive and fun learning opportunities.

Every January, classrooms across the country honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who reshaped history with his unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and nonviolence. For educators, teaching about Dr. King offers a unique opportunity to inspire students to dream big, think critically, and stand up for what’s right. Mobile Ed can help his lessons truly resonate with students by providing an immersive experience that brings his story to life, sparking meaningful conversations and lasting inspiration in your classroom.

Creating space for imagination and wonder in the classroom can feel like a luxury in a world filled with structured schedules and standardized tests. But for teachers, encouraging creativity is essential—it fuels curiosity, builds problem-solving skills, and transforms the classroom into a magical space where every lesson feels like an adventure. For students, this sense of wonder doesn’t just make learning fun—it opens their minds to endless possibilities and helps them build skills that last a lifetime. Here are a few ways you can invite imagination into your classroom.

Transform your gymnasium or multipurpose room into an immersive, high-definition planetarium with the SkyDome! The SkyDome Planetarium is an out-of-this-world experience that brings the entire universe to your school. Designed to educate students and spark curiosity, the SkyDome takes K-8 students on a fascinating journey through outer space, right from the comfort of their school. Let’s take a virtual tour and discover the awe-inspiring adventures awaiting students inside the SkyDome!

Fostering confidence and encouraging participation in the classroom are essential for helping students succeed academically and personally. A confident student is more likely to engage, take learning risks, and persist through challenges. To achieve this, teachers can utilize techniques that consider differentiation and various learning styles, allowing all students to feel valued and supported. Here are four effective strategies to foster confidence and participation in students across different grade levels.

Bringing educational assemblies to schools is an excellent way to ignite curiosity, encourage creativity, and spark motivation among students. Interactive assemblies can take classroom subjects and make them come alive in ways that textbooks alone cannot achieve. Mobile Ed Productions offers a variety of engaging assemblies, but three stand out as essential experiences for every student: the STEAM Museum, Quest for Kindness, and SkyDome Planetarium. Each of these assemblies contributes uniquely to students' growth and understanding, offering memorable experiences that integrate learning with fun. 

Cell phones have troubled the classroom for years now, bringing a new level of challenges to education. Somehow it seems that this challenge is only getting worse. Are they a toy that distracts, or can they be a tool for learning? Some schools have banned them outright, while others have integrated them into their curriculum. So, should cellphones be kept out of the classroom, or embraced as a modern learning device? Let’s explore both sides of this debate.

Field trips to science museums are important, but they often come with a lot of logistical challenges. Coordinating transportation for an entire school, organizing chaperones, and ensuring students remain engaged during the visit can be overwhelming for educators. Mobile Ed’s STEAM Museum offers a direct, hands-on experience without the challenges of a field trip. Designed to inspire students in grades K-8, this hands-on museum is a traveling exhibition that focuses on hands-on learning, STEAM education, and explorative learning.
