Provide Background Details and Rationale: BrainPOP is a web based collection of children’s educational short animated videos. BrainPOP is used in our K-5 classrooms and includes K-2 BrainPop junior, 3-5 BrainPOP, and BrainPOP for English Learners. Video topics include science, social studies, English, math, engineering, technology, health, arts, and music. Quizzes that correspond with videos are also available. Teachers often use BrainPOP to introduce a new learning topic and for re-teaching. Videos are engaging, fun, motivating and have been vetted for safe appropriate content. Students have individual logins and teachers can share content and quizzes with students. Teachers can pick and choose specific topics for students to study, or they can let students explore and learn based on their interests.
Provide Funding Source and Estimated Cost: $58,230 from the Elementary Resources budget
