Above is an exampls of how an interactive product/activity such as BrainPop might be useful to one of my curriculum areas of History.

Particularly in a year 7 class, students are still at an age where they would enjoy interactive, bright, colourful and engageing teaching and learning activities. This site had many different curriculum areas including a great deal of history resources and many different topics, including the 'Cleaopatra' aree as shown above which would be particularly useful whilst teaching year 7 ancient Egyptian history.

Such a product however, may not be as useful to an older class or unit, as some older students may find the content and style somwhat jeuvenile.

On the activities there are many different tools and exercises including videos, activities, a Q&A section, additional text information pages as well as an interactive quiz relevant to the material on the page.

This set of activities would be a useful revision tool to support and enhance information about the Egyptian emporer and state of politics at the end of the Ancient Egypt course that explains the fall of the Egyptian Pharoahs. Students would be motivated to revise and feel engaged with the coursework through this interactive method.
