UDL Guideline 3.1- Activate or supply background knowledge
BrainPOP is a great resource for activating and supplying background knowledge in any classroom. Content is mapped to Common Core, aligned to academic standards, and easily searchable with online standard tools. It allows teachers to provide pre-requisite content or activate prior knowledge in an entertaining and relevant way. Ideal for both group and one-on-one settings, BrainPOP is used in numerous ways in classrooms, at home, or on mobile devices.
General Critique
BrainPOP creates animated, curriculum-based content that engages students, and supports educators. The library has over 1,000 animated videos for students K-12 and there are spotlight videos that are free to view each month. Although this app is free, an online subscription will cost $195.00 dollars per year for a classroom or $995.00 dollars per year for your entire school to use the program.
