BrainPOP

When deciding which databases to purchase in June for the following school year, we always seek input from teachers are students alike. This past year we had a specific request for BrainPOP. 

"In classrooms, on mobile devices, and at home, BrainPOP engages students through animated movies, learning games, interactive quizzes, primary source activities, concept mapping, and more. They cover topics within Science, Math, Social Studies, English Language Arts, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Music, Health, Reading, and Writing. The content is carefully mapped to the Common Core, aligned to academic standards." This database (like all our databases) does require a username and password. Come get the handout or speak to a librarian.
