Welcome to the exciting world of:
An Informative look at the Ultimate e-Learning tool for educators, parents
and students.
Educators is this scene familiar?
-You have a series of interactive
questions planned out that you know
will reach your student’s, but it
seems as if their minds are
somewhere else
- or -Your in your class and give out
work books for your daily
assignments, but for some reason
you know your student just aren’t
paying attention…
Hmmm… how can I get my
student’s attention, keep it,
incorporate my daily lesson
plan, and have them yearning
for more all before the bell
rings?
Parents is this scene familiar to you?
- Do you constantly have to
stand over your child in order
for him/her to do work
- or maybe - Do you notice that they
are more interested in things
around them rather then the
work they should be doing
- or better yet -
-Or maybe you are
overloaded with
trying to give the
right attention to
each of your
children. Focusing
on each one and
their different
subjects can be a
bit stressful!
How can I make my child
enjoy learning while home?
How can I help them with
their work, while still handling
everything else.
Is there any way I
can make sure all the
house duties are
taken care of, while
helping my children
with their work?
Students is this scene familiar to you?
- Have you ever been sooo
bored in class that you don’t
know what to do.
- or maybe - You feel doing H.W. is the
worse thing in the world? You
think there is no way for you to
understand all this work in one
night!
What about you home schoolers?
- Ever feel tired of
the same boring
readings and texts
that your teachers
and tutors bring you.
Home school aids - ever wonder if your
curriculum is in lines with standards of
your district?
Well let me gather up all those thoughts because I have the
answers that will suit all your needs, whether you are a parent,
student or teacher.

Lets Take a quick look at BrainPOP
-This is your starting
point where you can
access all subjects and
all your general needs.
-For your younger
students there is a link
for BrainPOP Jr.
-Let take a simple walk
through and then we
will test it out.
-We begin by picking a
subject. For example
we choose math.
• Here we see the set of six
categories each with its
own subsets
• Notice at the bottom, at
any point in time we can
change to a different
subject altogether.
• Lets look at Numbers &
Operations
• Now we see some of the
many choices that
Numbers & Operations
has to offer.
• Take some time and
choose based on what
your students need,
current hw assignments,
or just to evaluate.
• Lets try looking at adding
and subtracting fractions.
•
This is the general make up of all
subjects subset pages
•
In the middle you have a movie
starring Tim and Moby which explain
the topic.
•
Along the right side you will find
related movies which incorporate
your current topic with other that
are similar
•
Towards the bottom you can ask
questions, listen to information tidbit
with Cassie and Rita, try out
experiments with Bob the ex-lab
rat, or even take a quiz
•
Lets look at the Quiz
• With all quizzes you
have the option of
graded, review or
printed quizzes.
• Depending on what
suits your needs you
may want test each
method
• How about we try
Graded Quiz
• Simply put, a
question is given and
choices accompany
them. Going through
them until its
completed.
Questions range
from 10 -20.
• Depending on what
method you are using,
or whether you’re a
teacher to parent, you
may want to print the
results for later, email
them to a parent, or
have the student go
over them right there.
- Here we see you get your results and the option of reviewing your
quiz or retaking it. In the review section you can see what you got
correct or incorrect. If you choose to retake it you can after the
review. You can also jump back to the topic with one click at the
bottom
Well that’s it ! BrainPOP in a nutshell. Now I
encourage you to try it hands-on! I have set
