Name of Resource: BrainPop-Animated Educational Site for Kids
URL Address: http://www.brainpop.com/
Summary: This website touches upon every subject. It provides animated movies relating to each topic and it also has quizzes.
Commentary: BrainPop is very useful in the educational setting. It is easy to follow because all the subjects are broken into various links, which then leads to more links relating to a specific topic within the chosen subject. The videos are informational and seem accurate. I think younger students will be able to understand the information depending on their grade level and the content. Educators will be able to decide if the content is relevant to the grade level they are teaching by using the State Standards Tool. A downfall with this site, in my opinion, is the fact that you must be a member in order to access a lot of the links. The website also seems a little outdated in regards to the videos shown. They are not very exciting and the voice doesn't always match up with the character speaking. I give this website an 8 out of 10.
