Example Content Exploration Blog Post

I reviewed BrainPop, specifically for English education. I plan to teach English as a Second Language. BrainPop is a fun and easy way to get the content across to students with limited language capabilities. The visualizations help students understand the context of what they are talking about thus enhancing the students' understanding of the content, even if they don't necessarily understand all of the words. In addition, BrainPop has recently created a BrainPop ESL version.

In particular, I could use this to help my students understand blogs. This video provides information on what is a blog, how to set it up, and the history of blogs. It also includes some helpful hints.

Other teachers have used this resource to inspire students to explore their own content by creating their own Tim and Moby adventures.

Although it primarily presents information, and thus would be considered a reference tool, there are quizzes available so it could also be considered a tutorial.
