Apps of the Week: Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr.

Apps of the Week: Brain Pop & Brain Pop Jr.

What is it?

Since our school has a subscription to both Brain Pop & Brain Pop Jr. this year (Thanks Dr. D), we also have access to all of Brain Pop's videos on our iPads.   If you aren't familiar with Brain Pop, it creates animated, curricular content that engages students, supports educators, and bolsters achievement.   After each short video clip there are activities to extend student learning as well as quizzes to assess understanding.    To use Brain Pop or Brain Pop Jr. on the iPads, simply press the log in button, log in, and get started with all of the content that is online.  

Who is it for?

Brain Pop Jr. is great for K-3 in whole class instruction, small group instruction, or for individual student learning, both on the laptops and the iPads.  Brain Pop is aimed at students in grades 3 and up and can be used in whole group instruction, small group instruction, or for individual student learning.  This is great for both math centers and literacy centers.
