Quotes
Sally Mills, head of the science department of Glenthorne High School in Sutton, who uses BrainPOP regularly, said: “I use BrainPOP all the time in my lessons because I find that the animation holds the pupil’s interest and really helps them to learn the topic as the videos are colourful, informative and educationally relevant. I often use the keywords during the videos to prompt discussion and introduce a new topic and the quiz at the end is useful to help sum the lesson up. I couldn’t live without it!”
Mr Nadav Kadar, Senior VP of International Operations at BrainPOP said: "We are very excited about launching in the UK. The UK is a market with an advanced education system, especially with regard to interactive learning. Our objective is to make learning clear and fun, so it is possible for all students to excel. We have worked meticulously with UK experts to adapt our content so that it is fully aligned with the National Curriculum Standards. The UK is an ideal environment for BrainPOP."
