As a Michigan School Assembly company, producing shows out of our humble little headquarters here in Redford, Michigan, we like to remind our clients that our reach goes way beyond Michigan.
Mobile Ed has a lot of great performers. That is an understatement really! Mobile Ed has lots and lots of really amazing school show presenters! That is how we have not only remained in business for more than thirty years, but how we have led the world of school shows the entire time and are now the largest company in the country presenting high quality school assemblies in communities nationwide.
The biggest trend in education today is the new and powerful emphasis on STEM education. Unsure what that is? STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Studies show the many of the best jobs of the future will be careers in these fields. Our ability as a nation to compete successfully on the world stage is heavily dependent upon our ability to train up a new generation to fill these areas with talented and skilled individuals.
Well, last week was very busy! Our phones were ringing off the hook and our email boxes were overflowing. Parents and teachers from schools all over the country scrambled to get on top of their school shows and assemblies for the school year that is just beginning. Whew!
Just letting everyone know we are in attendance today at the Showcase for Performers for Young Audiences in Skokie, Illinois.
The school year contains many special occasions. This we all know. Some are once in a lifetime festivities such as the closing of an older but still beloved building, or the grand opening of a new addition. Others are events that roll around with the calendar every year. Livening up these activities with a great school assembly can be a wonderful idea! But it is best to really plan ahead. Book early! Try to understand that those of us who create school shows can usually only be in one place at a time! If you think it would be a great idea to have, say, Abraham Lincoln on his birthday, be ready to learn you are not the first person to think of this. Though there are many Abraham Lincoln presenters in this wide country, they can only be in so many schools on the same day!
Ask any good teacher how kids learn the best, and they will give you the same answer. Given a choice between learning through listening to a lecture or learning through hands on experience, the latter will always provide better results. There is an old saying sometimes attributed to Confucius and sometimes to Ben Franklin. Regardless of who said it, it holds a lot of wisdom.
