Previously, in Applied Linguistics our great lecture Dr. Monica McEnerny told us about new interesting tool which we can use with children. It is called BrainPOP ESL. Monica told us that BrainPOP ESL is very popular tool in the United States and other countries. BrainPOP ESL is an English language learning program. This program engages students through animated movies, interactive quizzes, learning games, primary source activities, concept mapping.
Here is very simple tutorial: How do I get started to work with BrainPOP?
I would say it was a great lecture! I decided to implement this program in my classroom!
What do you think of BrainPOP?

There's something about BrainPop that I find highly engaging. Perhaps it's the cartoon model or the cute characters they have created. I love Tim and Moby, especially! Glad this appears to be a useful tool for you.
