We’ve talked before about the incredible movies that Brainpop has to offer for a very wide selection of topics and content areas. But we have failed to mention one feature that places Brainpop above being just a place for good educational movies. Other than providing quizzes and the soon-to-be-added lesson plans, the site offers a way to view a list of all of their movies aligned to the State Standards for all fifty states. This feature takes all of the guess work out of selecting when and what to show your kids by listing them in a way that any educator could easily place the videos into their current curriculum based on what standards they are currently covering. You can view their list for your state standards before joining by going here. This may not be a completely new feature of Brainpop, but it does serve as a good reminder for why purchasing a subscription is totally worth it.

If you haven’t tried their free trial to give their movies a spin, I recommend signing up. Also, a reminder that they provide our readers a free extended preview of 30 days when you enter the code “TEACHERTECH”.
