This is worth exploring, BrainPop is an animated educational site for kids. It features Science, Social Studies, English, Math, Arts and Music, Health and Technology.
I learned something by testing it out: today is Thesaurus Day. So happy Thesaurus Day! I even watched (part) of a video about what a dictionary is, how to find words in a dictionary, what some of the symbols mean in a dictionary and it goes on to explain a thesaurus. I can't wait to get Sterling on this site:)
I found out from watching the tour on BrainPop that you do have to subscribe to access all the movies and resources to their site (which looks like for the Family service it's $80/yr for the original BrainPop and $160/yr for BrainPop, BrainPop Jr. and BrainPop Espanol).
What we'll probably do is check for the free movie they rotate out every day (like today's one on dictionaries and thesauruses). Plus, I signed up for a free trial (which is a five day trial). I wish the whole site was free all the time--it looks really cool:)
