As the summer begins winding down, we, at BrainPOP, want to help you best prepare for the start of the school year. From personal goal setting, to helping students achieve, to coordinating with parents and administrators, the teaching juggling act begins very soon! For some of you, it’s already started again, to you, we salute you.  Here’s to an excellent beginning! As part of August’s Connected Educators Month, you can read and share some ideas for the first 6 weeks by participating the initiative’s online forum.   In addition,  this Wednesday’s edition of the BrainPOP webinar series features former classroom teacher, and current educational consultant Kate Chechak.  Kate will share her strategies and methods for building strong culture of learning in your classroom. Join us for what promises to be a stimulating hour that can help you get start of the school year right!

Our buddies over at Edsurge are hosting the third #esinstruct tweet chat discussion: “Games and Learning in the Classroom.” We, @BrainPOP, will be there, tweeting some cool news about our GameUp collection, which features free, high quality education games developed by groups including Nobelprize.org. Also in attendance: @GamestarMech, @Playpower, @educationarcade and iCivics and the creators of a game-based science curriculum developed at Rice University and used by 40,000 Texas teachers. So open up your favorite twitter client, search for @esinstruct and join the conversation!
