Community reviews for BrainPOP Jr.

It is an educational tool that engages the students. It keeps the students interested in learning.

Overall, I have enjoyed this resource and will continue use. It is a wonderful "tool" to have in your "teaching tool kit." The supplemental materials provided are very useful - videos, printouts, and practice quizzes/activities. As a teacher, enjoyed most the fact that the quizzes provided my students immediate feedback for mastery purposes and my students enjoyed the fact that they could retake quizzes.

Brainpop Jr. is an excellent teaching tool! My students are excited whenever I use this product. The videos with Annie and Moby are informative and engaging. The lesson plans and the Brainpop Educators section have a multitude of ideas for teachers.

The videos are quick and get down to the basics of the topic. If the teacher is looking for a deeper understanding of a topic, then this website is not the answer. Quizzes are also a quick assessment for understanding of the basics of a topic.

I have found Brainpop Jr. as a fabulous resource for all students regardless of literacy level, IEP, ELL, or even your own child!

I love the Brain Pop Jr. videos and so do my students!

Enjoy this website. My students enjoy the website. I like that this comes with a few extension activities.

Engaging videos and activities! My student always ask to watch a BrainPop video for any topic we are covering. They love the quizzes at the end and the immediate feedback :)

I use this as a resource for students who need enrichment or review. My special education students use this between subjects. My students also have this as a resource when they finish early and can earn extra time on this as a reward.

Overall it is a great as a tool to introduce students to new concepts and for them to get a visual for what they are learning. It can't be used as your whole lesson and students can't watch a video and instantly know the subject materials. Be sure and click through the lesson ideas and activities link, they have some great ideas, but also some lackluster ideas, it would be great to let teachers rate the materials or provide their own additional materials. Also having links to external resources and websites with each video, that extend the learning from the video, would be awesome. My district pays for this product, I can't say I'd recommend an individual teacher to pay for this product, most of the features are available for free other places, just not with quite the same quality. You can find similar videos on YouTube, but BrainPOP videos are well produced and have some great use of vocabulary words. You can definitely find just as good activities and lesson plans other places. I do love that the videos sometimes have questions and pause for the teacher to pause the video and have a class discussion.
