Have you ever heard of the "baseball analogy?" ⚾️ If you've never played baseball, watched a game, or held a bat, understanding a text about "home runs," "innings," and "strike zones" will be a real challenge. For a baseball expert, that same article would be a breeze. This is why background knowledge is essential to help students build literacy skills. It allows them to make meaningful connections, draw inferences and make predictions, and engage critically with the text. ⚾️📚 https://brnpop.co/3X3RN1P

Today I sat down with these icons to host a company-wide fireside chat. While discussing their BrainPOP journey and vision for the future, I lost count of how many times we used words like "joy," "curiosity," "magic," "service," "respect," "trust," and "hope." Reflecting on 25 years of BrainPOP, I am grateful for moments like this, brimming with lessons, laughter, and big dreams for continued impact. ✨ Avraham Kadar Karina Linch Mike Watanabe Raffi Kahane ✨ #education #edtech #leadership
