At BrainPOP we update the site with new movies, quizzes, games and teaching materials all the time.  To ensure that everything we release is of the highest quality, we call on our esteemed education advisors for their guidance and wisdom.  Today we welcome the newest member of our BrainPOP advisory board,  former Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Dr. Henry Adam.  Dr. Adam has an impressive bio that you can read here. BrainPOP educators recently contacted Dr. Adam to hear his thoughts about his newest appointment here at BrainPOP.  He writes, “As a pediatrician I’ve been trained to believe that prevention trumps treatment, and prevention of course depends on education. My work both as a clinician with patients and their families, and as an academic with students and house staff has largely been focused on education.  So joining BrainPOP seems natural for me.”  Well said doc! We are honored to have Dr. Adam join our board, and we look forward to receiving his guidance as we develop more health related content.

We’re so thrilled that yet another BrainPOP Educator has been selected as one of the National School Boards Association’s “20 to Watch“ educators for 2010. Adina Popa joins Robert Miller, Teryl Magee, and our very own Dr. Kari Stubbs as an educator to received this distinguished honor. Adina Popa is a Technology Resource Teacher for Loudoun County Public Schools in Ashburn, VA. She is passionate about global education, and goes above and beyond in every way possible to create the best opportunities in educational technology for her students and colleagues. Adina joined the ranks of BrainPOP Advisors for her expertise in Music and Technology, and most recently took on the role as International Ambassador for Loudoun County. Please join us in congratulating Adina!

We are on the lookout for Social Studies advisors, preferably at the high school level.
