Brainpop and Jr website learning tool

[Hærfest Leah]

I just came across this site today and thought it a great site to post here. This is a great learning resource. It is pretty much at the pre K & elementary school level. Our oldest daughter (age 4 1/2) is loving it and has watched like 30 of these videos today. It's full of videos and quizzes.

You have to register to use the site and you can get 5 free days access with no credit card required. Unfortunately yearly subscribtions are not that cheap although you can be charged monthly.

I stumbled upon this site a couple of months ago and my kids really liked it as well. I started looking around for information and found an online HS buying co-op (http://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/) that was offering a group buy(school subscription) at a nice discount. Unfortunately BrainPop made them pull down their group buy for some undisclosed reason before I could buy in. I kind of got a sour taste in my mouth about that as there weren't even enough people buying in through the co-op that would even be considered a very small school. I formed the opinion that since their membership fees are so high, and they wouldn't allow a homeschool co-op to buy in at the school rates that they were only in it for the money.

I could be wrong, but that is how I viewed it and for that reason opted not to subscribe.
