Community reviews for BrainPOP Jr.

BrainPop Jr. includes great animated clips on a wide variety of cross-curricular topics. The site is easy to navigate. Simply type the topic you are looking for into the search bar. Topics range from adding to how to be a good friend. Assessments are included at the end of the video.

Movies give great explanations using current language. Child/teacher friendly with setup. Students love the test at the end.

This website is hit or miss. If they have a video that addresses exactly what you're teaching, it's great. If not, they can sometimes be tangential. Be sure to watch the whole video! Sometimes the videos will go beyond a concept or address it below the level they should. It's a great place for kids to go on and tinker their own, either as a reward or when they've completed work.

Brainpop shows short video clips about various concepts. I like it because it has a section specifically for Arts and Music. The videos are informative, engaging, and entertaining. They even make me laugh sometimes. Questions are asked through letters mailed to a cartoon kid, and he answers them with a summary of the concepts involved. There is also a robot, which kids love, that asks questions. There are some free videos, but I think more teachers would use it if all the videos were free.

The students were engaged and ask to go to the site frequently. The videos are cool and the quizzes help me check for thei understanding.

I love how it takes the topics and need to teach and create a different learning presentation for my students.

What a great way to introduce, reinforce, and enhance student learning! I'd say this site has been fun in covering topics many of my students but mainly for primary students. The videos, quizzes, and activities have been enjoyed for hours and hours throughout this school year. Its a wonderful "go to " whenever info is needed on a topic, at any stage of the instruction.

Brain Pop Jr. offers videos and activities on such a wide variety of topics. The kids really enjoy the videos and find them so entertaining.

It gives you all kinds of cartoon created videos that allow you to teach concepts that are sometimes difficult for students to visualize.

Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr have been around awhile but are still wonderful additions to the classroom. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are going to stream the video, make sure you consider any bandwidth issues.
