Cracking the Code on Engagement with BrainPOP Creative Coding by Rebecca Gratz

Technology is rapidly evolving, and it is our job, as educators, to prepare our students for the future that hasn’t yet been created. Engaging our students in computer science related tasks can feel intimidating, but with BrainPOP Creative Coding anyone can expand their student’s skills in coding and computational thinking.

Deepening Work Knowledge to Improve Literacy with BrainPOP by Jessie Erickson

Learning and deepening word knowledge doesn’t have to feel like work.

Through back-and-forth, interactive play, students can also clarify misunderstandings and help them develop Vocabulary and Morphology knowledge.

Accessible Ways for Students to Show What They Know by Michelle Manning

Establishing Classroom Community by Creating Space for Student Expression by Jessie Erickson

From a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) point of view, the most important consideration at the start of the new school year is to create positive feelings, classroom community, and optimism about school. This has many practical implications for teachers as they set the stage for creating a classroom community that supports learners academically as well as socially and emotionally. This session will focus on using BrainPOP's creative tools with topic movies as avenues to build a strong classroom community filled with learners that feel emotionally safe and ready to learn.

↑↑↓↓←→←→ BrainPOP, Start GameUp by Sean Arnold

All of our initial learning experiences as children began with exploration and play. We accept that idea for our kindergarten students and a lifelong kindergarten environment is the process for innovative engineers at MIT. So why do we shy away from playful learning in between? We will explore the power of playful learning and how BrainPOP has built it into their lesson framework. And beyond BrainPOP’s games, we will see how it is a valuable curation space for games across other platforms too.
