Another valuable tool is their jazzed up flashcard templates (in the shape of Tim, BrainPOP’s main character). Teaching my students how to study was often a struggle. As part of their review and/or homework, I would print off flashcard templates (shrinking two pages into one on the copier to save paper) and assign it as their wrap up activity for the day. Perception is key, so I knew having them create three simple flashcards 2-3 nights a week was going to be more successful instead of assuming they would make note cards on their own to study with.
Last but certainly not least, there are lesson plans (K-12) and free webinars teachers can access through BrainPOP Educators. I’ve seen some great real life math lessons like “Good Advice on Credit Cards” that examines the advantages and disadvantages of using credit cards. Then there is “We’re Banking on It” which helps students understand the basic purpose banks serve in our economy and why/how they lend money. With over 850+ free resources, lesson ideas, graphic organizers, posters, etc., it’s definitely worth a look. Check it out!Tuesday 10 May 2011
