BrainPOP

    BrainPOP is a versatile educational platform for teachers to use in their daily in-person or remote classroom. BrainPOP contains thousands of animated videos covering all topics from math, science, english, social studies, engineering, arts, and more. When expanded, all of those subjects open up to dozens of sub-categories, making it easily accessible for students and teachers to find helpful videos for any concept they are learning/teaching at the time. The videos all contain two main characters (a boy and a robot) who provide an entertaining and informative experience that kids can easily pay attention to; especially because the videos are quick and packed with information. 

        Aside from the popular animated videos that BrainPOP is known for, this platform also provides parents and teachers with a ton of tools to help benefit their students in several ways. For example, BrainPOP provides a "For Grown-Ups" section that includes hundreds of lesson plans for teachers, antiracism educational resources, emotional support tips, and more. This website includes educational activities and games that teachers can assign their students to teach content while also incorporating technology to increase students' interest and understanding at the same time. 

    When joining BrainPOP, the website provides a free 30-day family or teacher trial. The free trial includes access to all of the videos and lesson plans, quizzes, games, activities, and tools to create and and design work/art. Overall, this educational platform provides tools for teachers to assign content in a fun and technology-infused way while also providing families at home with easy access to homework help, games, and activities to help get the content across.
