What Makes me Appy? Brainpop!

Are you a Brainpop user in your classroom? If you are nodding your head with happiness, then you need to download Brainpop's app. It will enhance your usage and make that one iPad more classroom friendly.

Whether or not your have tablet devices in your room, Brainpop should be a resource in your bags of teacher tricks. No matter what age they are, kids absolutely love the Tim & Moby videos.... but I digress!



Brainpop (Grade 3 and up)

Cost: FREE!!!
Format: iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, & Google Play
Compatible with iOS 4.2 or higher







Brainpop Jr. (K- 3rd grade)

Cost: FREE!!!
Format: iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, & Google Play
Compatible with iOS 4.2 or higher



Brainpop's apps offer students with FREE Featured Movies and quizzes. However, teachers who have a license to a subscription can access Brainpop's full catalog of videos just as you would in your classroom. For me, my students access videos through our laptops most of the time. But......

What I love about having the app is the ability to make iPad a station activity.

   

 Both apps are easy to navigate and find just what you need.

 Videos are fun and educational!


I love that the quizzes are available for students to use and view their scores.

Since introducing the app to my students, many of them have downloaded the app on their own devices to enjoy at home or where ever they may be.

APPy Learning everyone!!!!
