Dr. Kari Stubbs, BrainPOP’s Vice President of 21st Century Learning, is a member of the Voice of the Educator Working Group within SIIA – the Software & Information Industry Association.  The SIIA Vision website, created to assist the education community in understanding technology’s role in the improvement of education, has invited YOU to share your voice via a short, online survey.  It is part of  a very important national study about the current and future use of technology in our schools and colleges. Through the survey, teachers, professors, district or campus administrators, community members, and parents can share how their educational institution is progressing towards a Vision for K-20 Education.  The SIIA Vision is based on the understanding that technology allows educators to be innovative and efficient, and is essential for lifelong learning.   The results of the survey will be published and distributed in a free report later this year.

FETC was held January 23-26, 2012. With the close of the 2012 FETC Conference in Orlando, Florida, we want to thank those of you who came out to see us.  It’s always exciting to connect with our supporters and hear about your experiences with BrainPOP.  Even Moby had a blast! Speaking of Moby, Wade Werner, K-4 computer teacher at G.F.W. Elementary School in Gibbon, MN, had the lucky fortune of catching up with him at the conference.  Talk about being in the right place at the right time!  With his iPad in hand, Wade was able to officially introduce our favorite robot to his students back in Minnesota through FaceTime.  They had never seen him before, but after showing off his smooth dance moves, Moby was an instant hit with the kindergarten class. Moby has Wade hooked, too!  With plans to start using BrainPOP at school, he informed his class they’d be seeing a lot more of Moby in the near future.  Their reaction was a definite reassurance of Moby’s celebrity status! Are you a fan of Moby’s, too?  Be sure to visit our conference page to see where we’re headed next.
