BrainPOP

Have you had a chance to check out BrainPOP yet? I heard a couple elementary campuses have access to that. I’m not sure who but check with your principal if yo aren’t sure about your campus. Here is a quick run through what it offers.

BrainPop includes vocabulary flashcards. It also prompts students to use context clues and word analysis to discover the meaning of words.

Provides reading passages in different reading levels to differentiate for your students. Reading passages include embedded assessments.

BrainPOP also provides quizzes to assess students reading and comprehension levels. These quizzes use multiple interactive item types. Of course it also provides you with standards aligned student data based on all these activities.

For example, this lesson on voting, very topical, very timely, very mindful.

Inside “Create Assignment” There are up to six parts of this lesson that we can assign. Starting with the introductory movie for the topic. Vocabulary Activity, A Quiz, Leveled Reading activity as well as: Two projects to further practice their knowledge and skills by making a movie and creative coding.

Brain Pop has more than 1000 topics that have students practice skills while learning standards. Topics are cross curricular by using RLA standards attached to every unit even if the topics are history or science related.

The introduction video recommends using the Topic movie with it’s imbedded questions as a whole group activity. The Vocabulary as a small group activity. The leveled reading activity includes Immersive Reader tools.


Let us see if there is anything different about BrainPOP Jr, which is aimed at your K-3 students.

Activities can be explored by topic.

Which also break down into more specific subtopics.
