http://www.brainpopjr.com/ - Ms. Pak says “I re-discovered Brain Pop Jr., about 2 minute videos that my students LOVE. There are free ones on almost every subject and it even highlights the pause button in red to show you that’s a good time to ask the students what they think. Type in a word for ‘search’ in the subject you’re looking for, enjoy! It’s cool to see the video is saying EXACTLY what their teacher has been saying this whole time.“
