BrainPOP UK is a new website for schools which contains hundreds of animated explanations movies and interactive quizzes for Key Stages 2 and 3.
Each short, captivating movie features the adventures of Tim and his robot best friend, Moby, as they explain concepts from across the curriculum.
Already a tremendous success in the US, BrainPOP UK has been completely anglicised for UK schools. It’s easy to integrate, simple to use, highly engaging and, (best of all!) extremely popular with pupils.
Come and meet Tim and Moby by taking out a no obligation 30 day free trial.
BrainPOP UK is available as an annual subscription. We’re happy to offer to all Surrey schools an extra special 20% discount until July 31st 2009. Just get in touch and we’ll do the rest!
