-
BrainPOP is an animated multimedia learning platform with short explanations and connected activities. Teachers use topic movies, quizzes, vocabulary, games, readings, and creative tasks to launch or reinforce instruction and give students multiple ways to engage with a concept. Topic resources and quiz responses support a teacher-designed lesson. Any recorded activity describes that use of BrainPOP, with classroom discussion and other work providing the wider learning context.
