Thanks so much for joining us for #BPOPchat tonight!

@Mickeyteacher @holly I think that's a great idea Abby! #BPOPchat

@Holly Spangler I am providing some prompts so they can reflect as they play. #BPOPchat

@Mickeyteacher @holly Glad to hear you have tried so many Gameup games with your students. How are you using SnapThought with them? Are you providing prompts? Or just letting them reflect as they play? #BPOPchat

@Holly Spangler Projectile Motion, Hot Air Balloon, last week Wave Combinator and Wave on a String. Thinking about assigning Bird Song Hero but I even had trouble with that one. #BPOPchat

@JessieRErickson Yes Jessie! Great to know that BrainPOP is all those things! A resource you can trust! #BPOPchat

A7: The resources that are shared with students should be high quality, engaging, easy to access, relevant, reliable, valid and safe. Exactly why I quickly share BrainPop with families with out hesitation. #bpopchat

@dinah_bel All so important, especially that easy login, no one wants to be frustrated before they even get started! #BPOPchat

@Mickeyteacher Which BrainPOP games have you been using with your students? #BPOPchat

A6 Right now the games, videos and quizzes are my favorite. #BPOPchat

@dinah_bel Welcome Dinah! Creative Coding with BrainPOP! It's learning to code and coding to learn! #BPOPchat

Q6 My favorite is Make a Movie! It's a fan favorite with my students. Love they can share their learning and reflect on a topic in a fun and creative way! And they love making their own BrainPOP style movies with Moby in them! #BPOPchat

@Mickeyteacher @Abby Great to hear that! Which BrainPOP game were you using? #BPOPchat

My students just used snapthought last week on BrainPOP - great way to reflect. #BPOPchat

#Q5 #BPOPchat #BlendedLearning #FlippedLearning #VirtualSchools

@JessieRErickson @Screencastify @Flipgrid @edpuzzle @Jessie Yes, so many great ideas for student reflection including BrainPOP's Make a Movie, Make a Map and Creative Coding! And don't forget SnapThought for reflection during game play on BrainPOP's Gameup platform #BPOPchat

A4: Reflection can take many forms. Video with @Screencastify @Flipgrid Make a Movie, @edpuzzle or other creation like: Make a Map, Creative Coding, Google Suite tools, and more. Should take place during and after learning (home and school). #bpopchat

#Q4 #BPOPchat #BlendedLearning #FlippedLearning #VirtualSchools

@JessieRErickson Yes @Jessie! So important to be present and available for your students (in person or online). And BrainPOP offers the perfect resources for scaffolded instruction and to give you students a clear path for learning. #BPOPchat

A3: Know your students, support their learning styles and needs, and be present (in person or online). Select materials that can scaffold instruction and give students a clear path for learning - like BrainPop :) #Bpopchat

@Mickeyteacher @holly @Abby Great to hear you are using that certified BrainPOP knowledge you learned in our online certification course! #BPOPchat

@Holly Spangler I use Google Classroom the most, then BrainPOP, Edpuzzle, Quizlet. #bpopchat
