Useful in the classroom and the library to support curriculum

BrainPOP Jr. is a great resource! It touches on a variety of subjects such as math, science, reading, writing, social studies, art, and even health! Within these broader topics, there are various subtopics that specialize in a smaller scope of information, complete with a lesson plan, quiz, and other interactive tools to use in class. The site is full of bright colors and intricate animations, creating an enticing presentation for students who may have short attention spans or learning deficits. What I think is so great about this site, is the health section, because despite your primary subject, it touches on things such as mental health and issues some students may be going through, such as divorce or bullying. These sensitive topics may be difficult for some students, and they may not have a trusted adult to speak with about concerns they have. Showing these videos are a great way to establish trust and promote a comfortable environment within your classroom for students to know they are not alone. Not only that, but the videos are very informative and easily explain tough topics in a way young students understand. I actually remember using BrainPOP Jr. when I was a middle school student, and I thoroughly enjoyed the way the information was presented.

I find Brain POP to be very effective because it has every subject that teachers can use. It has videos, quizzes, and games to help students understand the topic and get better at their academics.

I generally have a very positive opinion on this teaching tool. The aspect of learning visually for younger children through fun and unique videos seems very beneficial. It has potential to get children more involved in the learning process by learning visually, for children who have trouble learning in other ways. Overall, a very useful tool to educate the younger students.
