I bought a subscription to this because it allows me to record myself. This was beneficial for me to record my notes and examples so if students were absent they could watch the recording and not get behind on their work. I liked the idea of using this in connection with EdPuzzle to create a flipped classroom.

I use EdPuzzle to upload my notes. This allows me to give the students a grade for watching the video over the notes. It made it easy for me to see who was watching the videos. I used this last school year as a virtual teacher. You can also input questions throughout your videos.

I use this website each Friday. I use the thought of the day every day. I use the Joke of the Day, Random Fact of the Day, and the Journal Entry of Friday. I call it "Fun Fact Friday." My students look forward to Fridays. :)

Welcome to Inner Explorer Pre-Launch !

We are delighted that you will soon begin using the Inner Explorer Program with your students. Being in the moment vastly improves student focus and task commitment. Using the program could not be easier. You don't need to teach your kids anything because you will be learning with them. Simply push play every day and you'll be on your way to a happier, healthier school year. The Pre-Launch is designed to get students thinking about their lives so when they start the following week they have 'bought in' to the importance of the Inner Explorer Program.

Middle and High School:

We recognize that kids in Middle and High school need to understand the relevance of what they are learning in order to make it meaningful. Before launching our daily mindfulness audio program we encourage you use our Pre-Launch pilot program. Each lesson will provide students with an understanding about how they will benefit from engaging in Inner Explorer.

Research shows mindfulness practices, when taught to school-aged children, helps students respond with greater compassion, resilience, and emotional and physical wellbeing. Most users recognize program benefits quickly. You're only a few weeks away from more presence and improved life outcomes. Start today.
