WHAT’S INSIDE?
Comprehension across the curriculum.
Critical thinking in every lesson.
Create personalized assignments that drive meaningful, active learning. BrainPOP’s animated movies give each student equal access to key background knowledge, while accompanying learning activities improve students’ essential literacy skills and encourage them to show what they know in creative ways.
Movie with Pause Points
At the heart of every BrainPOP lesson is a movie—with relatable, humorous characters—that helps students of all levels build key background knowledge and expand their vocabulary.
Each BrainPOP movie also includes Pause Point questions that make the movie-watching experience an active one—with real learning outcomes—by increasing student motivation, engagement, and comprehension.
THE BRAINPOP ADVANTAGE
Meet learners at their level. Meet your classroom’s goals.
Cultivate a love of learning and create that ideal classroom “buzz”—no matter the topic you teach, your instructional style, or your learner’s needs—with plenty of powerful ways to make BrainPOP your own.
Embedded scaffolds—from transcripts and speed adjustment to closed captioning and Microsoft Immersive Reader—help ensure all learners feel up-to-speed, included, and excited to learn.
Give your English Learners (ELs) the support they need. Embedded scaffolds—coupled with the movies’ ability to break down complex concepts, and the learning activities’ differentiation—allow ELs to learn the same grade-level content as their peers in a discreet, respectful way.
Harness the power of active learning with Creative Tools’ way of making students engaged, thinking critically, and problem-solving—all of which is UDL-driven and empowers students to take ownership of their learning while applying their skills in a meaningful way.
Use BrainPOP outside the classroom for even further enrichment: assign activities as after-school homework, make Creative Tools a summer school treat, or encourage students to play games in their free time to promote students’ curiosity and skill-building all day (and all year) long.

TESTIMONIALS
But don't just take our word for it
“BrainPOP simplifies complex topics in a manageable amount of time, while also offering engaging extension activities to deeper students’ depth of knowledge. Always opening a new door for their curious minds.”
Teacher, Round Rock ISD, TX
“I have been using BrainPOP in my classroom since 2006, or perhaps earlier. BrainPOP is always advancing its offerings, providing various opportunities to empower students...If I had to choose only 1 digital tool to employ in the classroom, BrainPOP wins hands down…I believe it is a powerful, meaningful tool accessible to students, teachers, and parents.”
Teacher, Evesham Township School District, NJ
“My students are thrilled anytime they see BrainPop on our daily agenda. I have had students grow leaps and bounds in confidence…with the variety of different activities for each topic, students will never be bored, and differentiation is a snap. There is something to meet every child's needs.”
Teacher, Dallas School District, TX
“I just love BrainPOP. It's comprehensive, a little edgy, a little nerdy, and generally user-friendly. It always has some nice surprises, and there is plenty to offer students at any level.”
Teacher, Palm Beach School District, FL
