Our education program consists of a series of fieldwork placements. Prior to this semester I’ve spent over 100 hours working in different classrooms and teaching lessons. Last semester I was in a sixth grade classroom in a middle school. My cooperating teacher introduced me to an interesting site that was interactive, used videos and supplied quizzes and worksheets. BrainPop is a site featuring two main characters Tim and Moby, a robot and a human, who answer questions on life’s mysteries and explain them in an interactive video.
The kids loved when my cooperating teacher used a BrainPop video to begin a new unit or to quickly demonstrate a fact about a particular topic. I signed up for a trial prescription and it is definitely a site worth trying in your classroom.
