Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, along with First Ladies Thelma “Pat” Nixon and Rosalynn Carter, pardoned Thanksgiving turkeys, what we have come to know as the Turkey Pardon only became an annual tradition in 1989 when President George H.W. Bush ‘presented’ to that year’s turkey an official presidential pardon. He famously said:</p><p>“<em>But let me assure you, and this fine tom turkey, that he will not end up on anyone’s dinner table, not this guy — he’s presented a Presidential pardon as of right now — and allow him to live out his days on a children’s farm not far from here</em>.”</p><p>So, mighty friends, remember to tune in this year for the official pardoning of the Thanksgiving Turkey to be held on 22 November!</p><p>Gobble gobble, until then!</p><p>Yours,</p><p><a href="https://www.mightyowl.com/">MightyOwl</a> (another beloved bird)</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=1f6bfdc51669" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I’m Yana, CEO and co-founder of MightyOwl. I am so excited to share with you what MightyOwl is all about.</p><p>At MightyOwl we are a team of five professionals–each brings a different expertise to the table. Most of us are also parents of young children. We come from different backgrounds, speak at least half a dozen languages among ourselves and are generally an enthusiastic bunch that will not take no for an answer (unless the opposing argument is really valid, obviously!). We have made it our mission to make MightyOwl an exceptional offering in the education space for all key stakeholders — parents, teachers, and students. We want to build something special — an educational platform providing high quality education for every child.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/768/1*rHxTWoNbZ4eeQ4rcGaweOQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>Yana with her children, Simeon and Raya</figcaption></figure><p>At its simplest iteration, MightyOwl is a single source platform for all your kids’ educational needs. Parents and teachers won’t have to spend hours researching for different materials for their children or students, and/or pay a lot of money having to subscribe to multiple educational websites to access that content. We are building a library that will cover all this for you. In the next year and a half we will release content on all subjects from K-8 grade, providing 1,200 educational videos, 2,400 quizzes and worksheets. All our content is aligned with the core US school standards. And not only that, we want to take it further, add more supplemental educational materials to further enhance children’s curiosity and ambition. Through our platform, each child will receive a customizable, unique learning experience that will address their specific needs and interests.</p><p><em>I believe it will make the engagement of parents and teachers more effective and uniquely tailored to each learner.</em></p><p>So, naturally, we are all about content, content, content! The materials for our videos are written by teachers and triple-checked by other teachers as well as via our meticulous internal processes. We feel confident that every learner is getting the best material they need for their grade and subject, and some more. We teach about civic, environmental responsibility, cultural diversity, and even harder topics such as race, gender, disabilities. We take our challenge of shaping our little mighty learners’ brains tremendously seriously.</p><p><em>We want to foster curiosity, ambition, resilience, creativity, integrity and most importantly, empathy. With our MightyMinds series, we highlight and celebrate the work of the renegades, the resolutes, that took upon themselves the challenge of changing the world. We hope to inspire the next generation of MightyMinds!</em></p><p>So, dear friends, I invite you to bring MightyOwl into your child’s educational journey and watch them embrace lifelong learning!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=5c6988a5353e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/862/1*0beRO5gO7fSJCrWxhQ-L2Q.jpeg" /></figure><p><em>This is the first in a series where team MightyOwl will explain the idea behind MightyOwl, why we believe in it and what we are looking to achieve.</em></p><p>COVID changed the way children learn forever. As parents of young children, we had front row seats to this. The pandemic accelerated the need for technology in education at a pace neither parents nor teachers were ready for. It was a scramble for most, regardless of circumstances. As parents we were blindly searching for different materials to show our children, while speaking to their teachers for some guidance. It was a massive effort, both in terms of time and money.</p><p>We needed an on-demand, reliable source of learning materials that could guarantee the credibility and accuracy of the academic content but was presented in a format that could keep our young children engaged for more than two minutes. We wanted, needed a Peppa Pig for learning (with the user experience and variety of content of Netflix).</p><p>And so came about MightyOwl.</p><p>Our video lessons always start with “Hello, this is MightyOwl”. For our kids, that greeting evokes a familiar sense of fun to come, filled with interesting information and riddles, discussions about which often carry on to the dinner table. For us as parents, it reaffirms our conviction that our children are learning, rehearsing, exploring the educational materials they need for their age group and we 100% know that content has been vetted by teachers. See, as a parent you are wired to need to double-check, vet everything that is presented to your child, and we found ourselves doing just that as we were looking for videos on Youtube at the beginning of the pandemic. In conceptualizing, MightyOwl we wanted to take away that element of doubt, so naturally we partnered with teachers. We strongly believe in this partnership, and in fact, MightyOwl would not be possible without teachers being at the center of our content creation. So, our lessons are created by teachers based on curriculums taught in US schools, aligned with the most well-established educational standards, including NGSS and CCSS.</p><p>Our video lessons supplement the education that a child is already receiving in a classroom (or at home for the home-schooled ones). We cannot expect to be able to replace (nor do we want to) the invaluable experience of learning in a classroom while engaging with peers. But we believe we can enhance the process of learning by making the students’ engagement with educational materials fun, accessible, reliable, personalized, and most importantly effective. And so, the lessons are accompanied by interactive quizzes, worksheets and printables which teachers can assign to their students.</p><p>We have been incredibly quick in ramping up content, without compromising quality and content, releasing 50 new videos each month. Oh, and did we mention this is all free?</p><p>While this is the foundation of our platform, we want to take it further. We want to personalize the educational trajectory of each child. So, with the power of AI, our platform will monitor the progress of each child closely and adjust the individual academic offering based on the specific needs of each child. Teachers and parents will be able to monitor the child’s progress in real time, leaving no room for anyone to fall behind.</p><p>We couldn’t be more excited about the future of education. We see an incredible opportunity and we are here to seize it.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Your mighty friends at MightyOwl</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=5555a69b1cd4" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
