ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., November 6, 2026 — Gan Jing World and its learning and entertainment platform for children, Gan Jing Kids, welcomed a steady stream of New Jersey educators to booth #2006 at the NJEA Convention 2026, held November 5–6 at the Atlantic City Convention Center. Over two days, teachers tried lessons on tablets, set up free class channels and held up #BeKindBeCool signs to share why kindness matters in their classrooms.
This was the platform's second year at the convention. At NJEA 2025, New Jersey teachers signed up for teacher channels and #BeKindBeCool toolkits.
Teachers try lessons and claim free class channels
Visitors received a personal tour of Gan Jing Kids and tried its International Chinese, English Language Arts and Wonder Together STEM lessons. Teachers who created an account at the booth received a free Teacher Premium Channel for one year, along with a Kindness Toolkit with a #BeKindBeCool lesson plan, writing prompts and certificates.
The booth drew special education teachers, vocational high school teachers, art teachers and parents. President Liao and Vice President Wu of the New Jersey Chinese Teachers Association, an association of public school Chinese teachers, also stopped by and said they like Gan Jing World and its focus on kindness. Several teachers brought their own children, who gathered around the banners for Monkey King Adventures, GJW+'s first original animated series. One teacher said she plans to have her two sons learn Chinese on Gan Jing World.
"The world needs a lot of kindness"
Educators shared on camera what they thought of the platform and why kindness matters to them.
"I've been a school counselor for 34 years," said Dr. Edward Maier. "I am here today to show that kindness can give a wonderful gift to so many."
"To have gratitude, to be respectful, and to reach out and understand, to be thoughtful and kind to one another is so important," said Lenora, a retired school social worker from New Jersey.
Priyank Mohan, founder of the AI education company GameLab, said he had never seen anything like it: "This is an amazing product. It teaches kindness to the community, to the students, to the teachers. I really appreciate that whoever has come up with this idea is executing it and bringing it to the schools. I think America and the world needs it."
The youngest visitors joined in too. A kindergartner who loves to draw held up his kindness artwork and said he plans to enter next year's #BeKindBeCool art contest.
A kindness movement New Jersey has embraced
The convention follows a year of momentum for #BeKindBeCool in the state. In 2026, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill sent a letter of commendation for the 3rd Annual #BeKindBeCool Global Video Awards, noting they have inspired "tens of thousands of acts of kindness across more than 50 countries." Artwork by students from schools in Manville, Jersey City, Newark and Lakewood was selected in the 2025–26 Kindness Art Competition and displayed on a billboard in Times Square.
