Game Up!

Yay!! BrainPop has finally released the games that some of you helped me test in Beta! Game Up is BrainPop's  new educational game section. Both games that we tested are now live as well as many others that are really fun. Check out the Branches of Power game and the Battleship Numberline! 

Go outside and enjoy the summer weather, but definitely try Game Up when you come inside to cool off!

Twitterview with Tim and Moby from BrainPOP

On Thursday, during lunch and recess, all of my students were treated to an online interview with Tim and Moby from BrainPOP! If you are not familiar with BrainPOP (your child certainly is) click here to see the BrainPOP movie of the week. About a week before the big interview with Tim, the students wrote down questions they wanted to ask him. Then, during recess and lunch, students came to my room to be a part of the Twitterview. A Twitterview is an interview that takes place on the social network site, Twitter. We found out all kinds of things! We learned that Moby speaks Binary code (and then watched a movie on it), we learned about famous mathematicians, interesting science facts, and even Moby's favorite geometrical shape (it's a decohedron).You can see some of Tim and Moby's answers by clicking on the above link for the BrainPOP movie of the week and scrolling to the live Twitter feed. What a great experience for all of us!
