My Take

I have taught in the elementary for over 10 years, and these videos are always crowd pleasers. Tim and Moby are fun and the kids can't help laughing at the antics of the robot, Moby. I am always impressed how they take even the most complex topics and break it down in to an informative, bite-sized piece, without talking down to the students. The quizzes, games and activities that go along with the videos are also a great resource. The only down side is that it is a subscription service and can be out of the price range for many schools.

How I Use It

I usually use the brainpop videos as part of my anticipatory set for a lesson. The videos engage the students and help hook them in to learning. I have also used the videos as a resource for a research project and as a review at the end of a lesson.

Complex turned Easy

Today, some students, especially those who are disadvantaged or have special needs, have difficulty in understanding complex topics.

The quizzes are good too with lots of useful questions throughout.

BrainPOP is a colorful, fun, and playful take on quizzes.

BrainPOP has a cartoon approach that students can watch before taking quizzes. It has multiple subjects, all of which contain fun videos that can engage students more. It is also accommodating to students who may struggle learning in standard environments, but thrive better in a visual setting. It also has a plenty of follow up topics to major subjects, which encourages a learning path for any student that is interested.

BrainPOP is a very useful apps that helps students learn more than several subjects all within one website.

I specifically enjoy that BrainPOP includes lessons that are easy for students to understand. I also like that they include follow up activities and games for students to participate in. Not only does this website include educational subjects, but it also includes topics within social emotional learning such as self management, self awareness, responsible decision making, relationship skills, social awareness. These are topics which are crucial for a significant way of living and awareness of mental/physical health.
