BrainPOP is a resource that provides videos for elementary
through middle school students. It is a great supplemental tool that can be
used for STEM, Social Studies, Reading/Writing, Arts, and Music. It is broken
up into three categories. BrainPOP Jr. is catered to K-3rd Grade, BrainPOP is
catered to upper elementary to middle school students, and BrainPOP ELL is for
English Language Learners of all ages. I've used it in the past and love
BrainPOP Jr. for my third graders.
BrainPOP
aligns to CCSS, NGSS, and U.S. State Standards. The standard cost for BrainPOP
is $220 a year. BrainPOP Jr. does have a website dedicated to their free
content (https://jr.brainpop.com/free-stuff/). All of the videos on BrainPOP have games, jokes,
and quizzes at different levels. I love how detailed the videos are. Students really
enjoy when I put on a BrainPOP. I’ve even had students in the past try to
access it at home.
I would encourage this resource to all educators. It is
my favorite supplemental tool. I feel like it is worth the investment. Each
time students learn a new skill and there is a BrainPOP video on the particular
skill, I know I can count on it to further help my students understand a
content. They are always so engaged and they look forward to the videos, jokes,
