As you read in our proposal, BrainPOP, Jr offers teachers a way to create personalized assignments that drive meaningful, active learning. Students can teachers can log onto this program to use these features at home and at school. BrainPOP Jr also provides teachers with the materials to share interactive assignments, quizzes, and activities in numerous content areas, including science, social studies, reading, math, and more!\r\n\r\nBrainPOP Jr'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. BrainPOP Jr's library features characters like Tim and Moby, who explain complex topics in an accessible way for all students. While nothing will replace a great teacher, BrainPOP Jr's videos allow students to connect real-world knowledge, experience, and vocabulary. This is especially important for our English language learners who are developing their English skills and connecting them to their first language and vocabulary.\r\n\r\nWe know we're biased, but we believe that we serve some of the hardest working students in North Carolina. Their commitment to learning, each other, and their school is unparalleled.
