My Take

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.

How I Use It

I believe this app is useful for students because it includes a variety of topics including English, science, social studies, math, arts & music, health, and even engineering. I would possibly include the use of BrainPOP at least twice a week because of it exceptional and educational content. Educators will find this website useful especially when they want to add activities and/or educational games to their lessons. By using BrainPOP, younger students will be able to learn more about how to use technology and apply information learned in the classroom within it.

Complex turned Easy

Today, some students, especially those who are disadvantaged or have special needs, have difficulty in understanding complex topics. However, what BrainPop does is by having cartoon characters, Tim and Moby, explain it. Having a cartoon explain complex topics is easier for students as opposed to reading from a book. 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.

Good product, but the history is told with a lefty slant

Overall, the history section is told with an pro-socialist point of view. Like the 1917 mexican constitution was great because it gave the land to the peasants that were working the land. I'm not defending the peasants treatment, but you could also say that land was stolen from the rightful owners by the socialist government and given to the workers.
