Observations and a couple of thoughts on Gypsy and Rebecca's Web Site Evaluation

Gypsy and Rebecca chose http://www.brainpop.com/ to evaluate. Gypsy is a science teacher and was partial to evaluate the science part of this site. Schools do have to subscribe to this site to use it. The site links to the national standards for all subjects on the site. We had a lot of fun watching a video about the cloning of "Dolly the Sheep". We learned about DNA and the process of cloning. Dolly had arthritis and died young, poor thing. : (
But the fun continued when we had to take a quiz on "Dolly". We went for "the grade" as a class, because we paid attentions. We scored 10 out of 10! We are amazing!!!!!
It looks like a great site for learning a fun way. Its design is very playful and a great reinforcement of a lesson. Finally, we watched a little cartoon video on the history of the Internet and how it works. Rebecca, a music teacher, found the segment pertaining to music a little "cheesy". Great Job Gypsy and Rebecca!
