I haven't explored the actual program very much, although what I did
view was high interest and helpful, but the teachers in my school love
it like nothing I have ever seen.  I talked the school into
unitedstreaming from Discovery, which I LOVE and someone else ordered
Brainpop at the same time.  But the next year when it ran out they
assumed I had ordered Brainpop, too, and teachers came up to me
constantly until I did start getting it reordered and then this year it
was assumed.  Anything techie that teachers will use I am will promote.
They all said they NEED it and use it all the time.  But there are so
many wonderful free things online, and I have a long list of great
teacher and student sites on my library webpage, worth a link.
I have a question.  I just got new pc, and our techie guy assured me he
could make them as secure from mischief as a mac, and now says he
can't.  What do you do or buy for that?

Hello,
Do any of you use BrainPop in your library?  Our district has just
subscribed and I'd like some information about it from librarians.
Thanks.
