My Take
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.
How I Use It
I always used BrainPop growing up as a student. If I were a teacher, I would use BrainPop in the classroom the same way as my teachers did for me. I would introduce complex topics by showing Tim and Moby explain it and follow that up with an online game or quiz from the site.

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.

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.

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.
