It’s with pride and excitement that BrainPOP has released a new app for Windows 8 and its sidekick Windows RT for use on mobile devices such as the Microsoft Surface.  Our Windows app highlights the “tiled” beauty of the operating systems, incorporating an elegant look into the topic search and quiz features, while providing a gorgeous two toned blue sunburst background. It’s simply pretty to look at! The Windows app is available free of charge and provides access to the featured movie of the day. Featured movie topics tie in to current events, historical milestones and figures, holidays, and more! Additionally, current site subscribers can log in directly from the app to access all of BrainPOP’s award-winning content at no additional cost. This is a great benefit for school subscribers who want to provide access to BrainPOP content on Windows device that students may have at home! So, if you’re using Windows 8, download the app from the Windows 8 store and let us know what you think! After all, “the more you know, the more you know!” (and the more we want to know!)  

Wednesday, January 23rd at 3:30 PM ET- Google This: BrainPOP and Google Apps for Education Explore BrainPOP’s integration with Google Application for Education and the Google Chrome web application. Andrew Gardner, BrainPOP Educators Senior Manager, will discuss the benefits of integrating Google and BrainPOP, including single sign-on, the ability to collect quiz score data directly into a spreadsheet, and more.

We’re excited about the ability for users of BrainPOP and Google Apps to connect the services. By doing so, everyone benefits from the ease of single sign on (sso) and the ability to send quiz scores directly to a Google spreadsheet. The embedded slideshow below will walk you through the ease of installation, but if you want a more detailed explanation, check out the webinar from March 2012. If you’re in a school that uses Google Apps and BrainPOP already, this integration is a no brainer!

It was a great week for BrainPOP and Google.  We were proud sponsors of the first annual New York/New Jersey Google Summit a 2 day conference about all things Google in Education.   There was a wide variety of sessions from basic overviews of Google Apps for Education, to complex hackathons exploring the ins and outs of scripting! We met many innovative and thoughtful teachers who were excited to learn about the BrainPOP Chrome app, and the integration between Google Apps for Education and BrainPOP.  Congratulations to Angela Helzer, (pictured) from Curtis HighSchool, the lucky winner of a one year combo subscription for  BrainPOP, BrainPOP Jr and BrainPOP Espanol.  In the spirit of the paper free nature of the Google summit, Angela received a virtual certificate from BrainPOP Educator Andrew Gardner! To learn more about the connection between Google and BrainPOP, check out last week’s archived webinar, or visit our support pages.  With single sign-on and automated quiz score collection, installing the BrainPOP Google Marketplace App is a no-brainer for any school with both Google Apps and a school wide BrainPOP subscription.
