BrianPop

Alright, so lately the stress has been kicking in quite a bit during the finals season so I wanted to try to keep my brain "perky!" I found this great application called BrainPOP and I have truly been testing out my brain skills. I have been quizzing myself on science from back in the high school days, math that I haven't seen in years, social studies (that I probably should know the answers to...), and history. Not going to lie to you, I was embarrassed! I didn't remember about 50% of the answers. This is a great review on questions we probably should know the answers to but the little Robot doesn't make fun of you when you're wrong which is kind of reassuring. Also, I really appreciate that before or after the test you have the option to watch a little cartoon video that gives you a refresher that you are about to take a quiz on. This is a fantastic app to keep children actively learning but unfortunately it may be more helpful to the adults!

Also, for individuals learning English as a second language there is a BrainPOP that teaches ESL. It's really a fun way to keep up with vocabulary and structure of English. I'll include the link right HERE.

Here's a screenshot of the ESL version of the App:
