BrainPop

BrainPop is an awesome resource for you to use in your classroom. If you've never seen the site you've definitely got to check it out! BrainPop  is an educational website that consists of short flash movies, and quizzes for the K-12 spectrum. It includes all subject areas as well. The site is broken up into two sections, BrainPop being geared towards 4-12 grade and BrainPop Jr. for K-3.  Tim and Moby, among other characters will guide you and your students through topics such as Geometry, the Civil War, Dr. Seuss, Verbs, and many others. Although, BrainPop does require a subscription, (many schools already subscribe), there are FREE movies, quizzes, and activities that you can take advantage of.  BrainPop also features a movie of the week and that is always free as well. This week on BrainPop Jr. the featured movie is about Columbus Day.  Be sure to check out BrainPop Educators too. You sign up for this but you do not have to pay. You can use BrainPop Educators anytime you want. (Hint-it's a quick way to see what the featured movie is for the week.)  There's just a ton of information available to you and I highly recommend you take a peak!
