Community Review for BrainPOP Featured Movie
My Take
I really loved this app and how interesting they are able to make a topic for students. The characters keep the students engaged. I am also impressed with how they can brake down topics for students in such a easy and fun way!
How I Use It
For a teaching tool I would highly recommend this app students will love it! What I liked about it is all that it provides students such as clear explanations for a topic through a video and also a quiz to follow up with the material they had just learned. It can serve kids and my teaching better by having this be an introduction to a lesson and students would then have something engaging to watch before the lesson.

Engaging way to deliver content!
I really enjoy this tool! I use it all the time in my classroom! I love that the videos are easy for my students to understand and the videos connect really well to the standards I have to teach. The characters and the humor in the videos make it entertaining to my students. I love that there are comprehension questions after the video that can help me recognize whether my students understand the content or not.

Very well done and has adequate content that can be built upon. The humor, though cheesy, gets a chuckle every time my students get the joke.
I think it's an excellent tool for students to learn from. The assessment that they have is wonky and cumbersome. I used hard copies. Just watch the video before showing it to the students.

Make Your Brain Pop with Knowledge!!
BrainPop is a great teaching tool. I especially like the various topics which are aligned to standards and that it serves all the students from my assessments. The students are totally engaged and actually ask for to watch the various clips regularly. The new add-ons such as concept mapping and Snap thought require a computer which may seem daunting for a classroom environment. Therefore I would suggest using a graphic organizer and have the students jot down specific key concepts as the teacher stops the video clip a various intervals. The guided questions will aid them in the completion of the maps.
