2021 has been a ground-breaking year for space travel and space tourism. Despite a deadly worldwide pandemic, weakened economies, and continued concerns surrounding climate change, several privately-owned companies have had successful efforts traveling beyond the earth’s atmosphere to the edge of space.

The magnificent and one-of-a-kind Earth Dome Assembly is one of our most popular assembly programs performed across the country. Our 19-foot-tall inflatable planetarium will no doubt blow students away learning about their home planet like never before! Your students will get an inside and up-close look into all the unique parts that make up our planet including continents, oceans, latitude and longitude, and geology. 

Learning about space is fascinating for so many, and we are certain your students will agree. Our educators that work with Mobile Ed Productions have used this quick-and-easy sundial project many times when teaching about the earth’s rotation in their classrooms. 

How to Create a Positive Reading Atmosphere in Your Classroom

The essential skill of reading is at the center of education, communication, and mental development. Without a strong ability to read, it may be harder for children to communicate with others and think critically (Harappa Diaries). Reading and comprehension are vital skills for students no matter their age. 

Students should be practicing reading independently or reading with a parent beginning at a young age for maximum brain development. Here are some benefits for students who practice reading at a young age according to Merrimack College: 

The quick and dangerous spread of COVID-19 took everyone by surprise in 2020, but Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. is always ready to serve your students. Through a pandemic or not, our commitment to delivering high-quality, educational entertainment hasn’t wavered. Mobile Ed sets strict safety standards for our performers to maintain when traveling across the country or presenting through your screen.

Mobile Ed Production’s mission from the beginning has been to deliver the highest quality of educational entertainment to private and public schools across the country. Since 1979, we have created over 40 popular educational assemblies for K-8 schools, and that number continues to go up. Though we value our transparency, affordability, and mobility, these values mean nothing to us without the high-quality educational and engaging content in our programs.

Our Most Popular School Assembly: The SkyDome Planetarium

Our SkyDome Planetarium assembly is widely known by schools across the country and is by far our most popular assembly. Why? Because in this assembly, our high-end portable planetarium transforms your indoor space to outer space to give students a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

6 New Technologies to Try This Year

Over the past eighteen months, technology has been relied upon to remake the classroom and provide essential education to students. School districts have scrambled to bridge technological gaps, provide lessons on new platforms, and develop technological proficiencies within their staff, all with no formal training or time. Whether you’re a teacher, student, parent, staff, or administrator, everyone has had to adjust and grow into this new way of school. 

Social Anxiety: Transitioning Back to School

There are many different emotions that students and staff feel at the start of the school year. Excitement, nerves, fear, and stress to name a few. This year, after over a year of isolating practices, students could be more likely to feel some sort of anxiety. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), people living with social anxiety experience intense fear in relation to at least one social situation where others might judge them. Awkward silences, performances, laughing, and meeting new people may all cause anxiety to students who suffer from it. 

Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. has been the leader in education-based entertainment since 1979. Passionate about education in young students, our team aims to make learning interactive and engaging for students of all ages covering a variety of subjects. 42 years later, we are now serving educators across the nation via in-person and virtual educational assemblies. 

Our Story

A school teacher and administrator in the Livonia Public Schools, Larry Thompson knew there was a need to make his school lessons more enjoyable for his students and saw a lack of assemblies available for schools. Thompson, as seen in this photo, was also a televised magician and sidekick to Bozo the Clown known as Mr. Whoodini. After airing the show each morning, he’d run over to his classroom to start teaching (sometimes still in his costume!). His students thought this was so cool! Larry Thompson founded Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. with his father-in-law, Norman Seay, in Redford, Michigan, back in 1979 to bring a little magic to his classroom.
