Community reviews for BrainPOP Jr.

This is a great supplement, especially for science and social studies. The videos do an excellent job of using vocabulary correctly and explaining new concepts. The games and quizzes help teachers structure questioning and pull key concepts. It doesn't have a video for everything and some of the content for K-3 is really more for kids in grades 2 and 3.

Very clearly written information on a variety of topics. Includes touches of humor too. Videos aren't too long (appx 5-8 minutes) and are written in a question then answer research style. Simple, clear visuals like animated pictures and labels support learning. My students get excited when they see I've got BrainPop Jr on the screen for them. I like that the narrator, a young girl with her silly mute robot friend, speaks slowly and clearly, but with inflection so that it's not boring. Also, the videos take time to highlight and define important vocabulary words.

I like and enjoy how it has videos, learning activities, more tools so that I can scaffold learning for all of my diverse learners.

This website is great to show with your mini lessons. The topics are diverse and cover practically everything. The movies are short and humorous and informative. The students love it. It also provides assessment.

I really like the BrainPop videos. It gives you times when you should pause it to have discussion about a topic, which is good practice. It also has games, activities and extensions that go along with it. The videos are engaging and age appropriate.

This is one of the best web tools that I use. It is a go-to for me and my classroom activity planning. The web videos are super engaging for my kiddos and they love to go back and watch them again and again. There are quiz like activities that help check for comprehension and understanding. So many pro's it's hard to name them all!!

I think it has some great interactive elements which the students really enjoy

BrainPOP along with its counterparts, BrainPOP Jr. and BrainPOP Espanol are great ways to engages students in the lesson. The videos can be used to introduce content, review content and expand on content. There are quizzes, vocabulary words, and even graphic organizers that go with the content. it can be used on and interactive whiteboard for further engagement. There are teacher resources and lesson ideas as well.

Brainpop Jr. has lessons for all subject areas. I have taught as a grade level teacher and now as a technology lab teacher, and I can always find a video, lesson or ideas to help make my own. I wish there were more lessons, but I am sure they are adding as quickly as they can.

I really like Brain POP. My students also like it; even the quizzes at the end. I can not think of a way it can serve my teaching better.
