I love hearing how teachers are taking that feature to a new level and creating interactive learning opportunities for their students with it! Great addition to our list of ideas for BrainPOP features to use after -- and especially outside of school, watching the movie! Thanks.

I have posted an ongoing extra credit assignment on my class homepages that gives 2 bonus points for each featured BrainPOP quiz they take, if they score a 9 or 10 on it and send it to me through BrainPOP's email feature. I have some of my kids that don't miss a video. EVEN GEORGE WASHINGTON got them 2 points. The best part is that I don't have to think of any other extra credit assignment because it changes all the time. It actually forces them to check their class page daily. Anyway, that is just the beginning. The activities and other features on curricular related videos have also helped them prepare for topic related tests. All outside of class - taking up NO class time. Yay!!! Hi Allisyn,

I love hearing how you're using Annie's Notebook for your K-3rd graders! I've also soon teachers use the print notebook feature for students to sketch as a form of note-taking. Keep these great ideas coming, and thank you for sharing! Thanks Robert! I love hearing how you’re using Annie’s Notebook for your K-3rd graders!

Along those lines with Annie's Notebook... Our k-3 is having great success with students having their own copy of the upcoming questions from Annie and Moby, printed from the button below Annie's Notebook ... Some teachers build it up like it is a secret to know when the red pause button is coming next. Classes with students at tables not only have them personally making connections but then turning and sharing thoughts with partners... much more interactive than passive viewing!
