I barely do BrainPOP, but still, when I’m bored, and also when it’s a day off of my homeschooling, (I homeschooling on another app) I still like to get a little educated. I always wonder things about when things were invented and happen to research on the web almost every day. I think that I’ve Learned some stuff from this educational app. But still, I think I liked the other home screen of this app better than it’s new update. I think the other Home Screen looked more original, but now this just looks like any other learning program.. But still, brainpop is cool and educational!

BrainPop is a great resource for developing minds wishing to learn more. You can find anything in any subject from The Beatles to the Constellation of The Stars to even information about cat breeds! It has whatever suits your child's interests and allows them to submit their own questions. It also quizzes them to help their brain’s learn. It also gives them other sources and information about gathering information so that they can learn even more. It also offers interactive games to keep them entertained. As you can see BrainPop is great for any number of audiences.

The Civil War piece makes a big deal about states’ rights being a debatable cause of the Civil War, but that’s historical revisionism pushed by racists and modern conservatives. Slavery was mentioned specifically numerous times in several states’ articles of secession. Furthermore the Nullification Crisis proves states’ rights was not the tipping point, as the Southern states did not secede over a very clear states’ rights issue. Slavery was the fundamental underlying cause of the Civil War, and I fear the app may be giving in to certain southern states that want to keep a false narrative in their curriculum.
