BrainPOP/BrainPOP Jr. - Schoology Integration

SAU #19 classroom teachers at BES, MAES, and NBCS have a subscription to BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. Teachers must connect their BrainPOP and/or BrainPOP Jr. accounts to their Schoology courses each year. Teachers are also required to create a class within their BrainPOP accounts, which will generate a class code for students.

All students must use this class code to connect their BrainPOP accounts. Please have students complete this setup even if you do not plan to assign BrainPOP or BrainPOP Jr. activities. Completing this step allows students to access BrainPOP/BrainPOP Jr. at home for practice or review.

2. Click on the BrainPOP button on the left sidebar. 

If you do not already have a BrainPOP account, you will be prompted to enter your school's Educator Code. If you don't know your district's technology integration specialist for this information.
