Simple visuals to build understanding
Community Review for BrainPOP Featured Movie
My Take
Students can view videos at their own pace, pausing or reviewing content as desired. Quizzes available at the end of a video test student knowledge, giving immediate feedback, with a total score presented at the conclusion. The visuals are simple and avoid distracting attention from content.
How I Use It
I was able to find several relevant videos on the Great Depression to enhance student understanding of the time period. The app has a lot of engaging content in numerous areas: science, social studies, English, math, arts & music, health and tech. I particularly like the publisher's quizzes. Students should be reading near grade level to take the quiz independently; low literacy or ELL students could be grouped with better readers to collaborate on answers to the quizzes to build their comprehension.
