Never know how to start a lesson? Are you stuck on how to introduce a new topic? Are your students bored with hearing you talk? Brainpop and Brainpop Junior is what you need! Brainpop provides educational videos for students in the intermediate grades while Brainpop Junior provides videos for students in Kindergarten-3. Students are highly engaged with the characters Moby and Tim! Many times students will say "oh yes Brainpop!"
The Brainpop tools are a subscription based program. If a school purchases one of the Brainpop's it costs $1,200. Both Brainpop and Brainpop Junior have videos for all subject areas and easy or hard quizzes that relate to the video. There are also games that students can play that relate to the topic. There is also a section where educators can search for videos that relate to the Common Core Standards.
Unfortunately, BrainPop is not Web 2.0. It is content that you can share with your students, but it doesn't allow teachers or students to create content or interact.
