Coronavirus and Technology

Many technology education companies are offering their services at reduced rates or for free, as we navigate these unprecedented times of mass school closings. One such company, BrainPOP (which we currently subscribe to), has a video that does a wonderful job of explaining the Coronavirus to students. It is linked below. Students can access all BrainPOP resources by going to the Mepham High School Library Website and clicking on the Database tab. Once you land on this page, hit the "Click Here for Databases." The databases are listed in alphabetical order. Click on BrainPOP. These databases are password-protected. Refer to your username and password handout or stop by the library if you need an additional copy. You can always email Mrs. Stack at sstack@bmchsd.org with questions.

BrainPOP Coronavirus Description

While the most severe cases often dominate the headlines, they’re not the whole story. Most coronavirus cases have been mild, and healthy bodies can fight off the infection on their own. Find out more about how viruses work, and the best ways to prevent them from infecting more people. Viruses can’t spread without our help, so click play to learn how not to help them!
