Great app to introduce topics and inspire further learning.

I feel that BrainPOP Jr. is an excellent teaching tool. You can use it in every subject you teach. The kids enjoy the characters and the videos.

This BrainPop, Jr. extension is a great hook, but should not be used to replace teacher-led instruction or student inquiry. It is great to introduce a topic and spur conversations that let you know what students already know and/or what misconceptions they have about a new topic of study. I like that the videos use audio, video, and text to support different types of learners. Also, the videos are slightly interactive, offering questions to the viewer and multiple-choice quizzes at the end of the video. I wish that the app gave teachers feedback on students' answers to the quizzes. I also wish that there were more features on the app that are on the web-based version, like games and/or other activities that deepen understanding or require application of what students learned.

BrainPOP Jr. is a great tool to use in the classroom. It teaches students in a fun and creative way. After watching the videos, my students refer back to what they learned from them during class discussions. This really shows me how beneficial BrainPOP Jr. is for my students. This app is engaging to all students, no matter their ability level. BrainPOP Jr. is a wonderful teaching tool to use to enhance classroom instruction.
