BrainPOP Educators

BrainPop, BrainPop Jr. and Brainpop Español are excellent resources for introducing new concepts to students. With these short clips, complex ideas are illustrated and made easier for kids to understand. Teachers can create a free BrainPOP Educators Account to access excellent community resources. There are lots of graphic organizers that are downloadable and adaptable for a range of subject areas. There are diverse types of note-taking forms and templates for foldables & flash cards too. ( I adapted and used one called Pause Points for lessons on Online Safety and Digital Citizenship in 3rd-5th grade earlier this year). Find BrainPOP blog updates on upcoming webinars and useful instructional ideas there too. It is well worth registering for an account! You can follow @BrainPop and  BrainPOP edu on Twitter too.
