Welcome back to school! We’ve got two brand new Spotlights to help you kick off the new school year.

Our September Spotlight: Digital Citizenship is FREE all month. Make sure your students and children head back to classes armed with technology smarts. Spotlight: Digital Citizenship covers topics from blogs, cyberbullying, and social networking to email and IM, information privacy, and online sources. Take a digital etiquette quiz and download our coveted online safety poster. K-3 topics on BrainPOP Jr. include bullying and internet safety.

Classification, mineral identification, the periodic table of elements, microscopes, measuring matter (BrainPOP), science projects, inches and feet, and solids, liquids, and gases (BrainPOP Jr.) are just a few of the topics comprising our Spotlight: Science Skills. The featured quiz deals with the scientific method, and BrainPOP Educators offers science-themed video tutorials.
