BrainPop

BrainPop is an interactive website where it has various core subjects for students and teachers to choose from. The site provides you with numerous videos on specific subjects, quizzes, an informational section, and even activities to go along with the video or subject. Although some of BrainPop's features are free, there are six different types of subscriptions. There are the classroom, school, district, family, homeschool and virtual school subscriptions. All subscriptions are based on an annual or monthly subscription. All of the subscriptions are different, but the one I would definitely consider if I was a school would be the school subscription because it allows students and teachers to use it at home 24/7.

BrainPop is very easy to sign up for. It asks you whether you are using it at home, in a classroom or school-wide. What I do not like is that it is rather expensive. BrainPop charges you depending on the features and purposes you are using it for. For the original BrainPop features, it totals you up to one hundred and fifteen dollars for one year, at home subscription. I would say stick to free online version although it is very limited. BrainPop is a great source, although I would use it just for an enhancement. Some of the subjects they offer are, Science, Social Studies, English, Math, Health, Arts and Music, and Engineering and Technology.
