This one might ruffle some feathers. But...if it does, ask yourself - why?

In the classroom we need to remember that technology is just a tool and resource for us. The teacher should be the one teaching!

Stop putting the word JUST in front of your title or career choice. You are so much more than JUST a teacher.

Taking time for yourself, your family, your friends and your passion is more important than ever before!

It is so easy to focus on negative things going on around us, but it's so much more rewarding when we focus on the positives! Take the advice from my son.

I've been preaching this statement for years in keynotes and seminars - "Every kid is good at something!" As teachers, we need to figure out what that thing is and expose it so that kid feels empowered and ready to reach their goals!

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll start on Monday"? I do it ALL THE TIME! But what are we waiting for exactly?

Within a few months, it grew to a few thousand, and the rest is history! Stay at Home Activity Mom is still an instagram account sharing free activity ideas, product recs, teaching and parenting tips, and more!

Jerry Kolber is the co-creator and Showrunner of National Geographic’s #1 series, BRAIN GAMES, for which he received a Prime Time Emmy Nomination. Kolber and Atomic are a frequent collaborator with icon Pharrell Williams, having created and producer BRAINCHILD (Netflix) with Pharrell, as well as two upcoming documentaries.

Kolber is the co-creator and host of the world’s most popular 3x weekly kids educational podcast Who Smarted?, which had three million downloads in its first year.

Kolber’s other creator and Showrunner credits include Inked (A&E), Confessions of a Matchmaker (A&E), GE in the Wild (with Mythbusters’ Adam Savage), and the space documentary 14 Minutes from Earth (Netflix).

Kolber grew up in the swamp in South Florida. He was an avid cyclist, theater kid, and nationally ranked Lincoln-Douglas debater.

Kolber didn’t know regular people could make movies until he met a group of regular people at NYU who were studying to make movies, where he was studying theater production and design.  Kolber’s first job was as Business Manager of the legendary Jean Cocteau Repertory Theater on the Bowery.

Kolber followed his time at the Cocteau Rep with a summer in the immediately- post-Communist Czech Republic, attempting to produce theater in circumstances better suited to producing a nervous breakdown. Upon his return to the states, Kolber began working in the stage theatrical departments at major movie studios, including Universal and Disney.

Kolber began his career in television in the production finance department at Dick Wolf’s Fox hit “New York Undercover”, bridging the gap between finance and creative. He was the production auditor on the first seasons of HBO’s Sex And The City, and Bravo’s Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, ultimately becoming line producer of more than fifty episodes of Queer Eye while learning to put the hair product in from the back.

Kolber went on a wild ride in the rapidly expanding early landscape of unscripted television, working for E!, fuse, Bravo, Disney/ABC, National Geographic, Discovery ID, MTV, Animal Planet, and multiple A&E series, as an in- demand Co-EP,  showrunner, and writer of unscripted entertainment.

He always knew that one day he would bring his love of entertainment and disdain for outdated one-size-fits-all education together and Brain Games provided the first of many opportunities to show what was possible. Since 2010 Kolber, his team at Atomic, and their amazing partners have been responsible for some of the most successful and beloved edutainment programming in the world.  Kolber is a long-time resident of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
