Using BrainPop with Promethean ActivExpression Quizzes

If you are a BrainPop user, did you know that you can use the quizzes on their excellent website with your Promethean ActivExpression or ActiVote handsets?

In order to run the quizzes, you will need to download and install a Flash Bridge which acts as the medium between your voting device and your BrainPOP UK quiz, enabling the two to interact together. When this is done, you should see an additional button when using a quiz which says ActiVote or ActivExpression.

To find out how to do it, just click on the following link for either BrainPop or BrainPop UK then click on the Quiz Integration tab for more instructions. You’ll find links to download the Flash Bridge there too.

You can also get more help, and watch a short video, via the BrainPopUK blog here.

You can also download a BrainPop resource pack which offers a set of cross-curricular resources for that you can use to create your own flipcharts and enhance your web-based lessons. It includes images of Tim & Moby, other fun visuals, graphic organisers and more. You’d need to be a Promethean Planet member to download, but it’s free to join.

If you haven’t seen BrainPop before, it’s an online subscription resource for ages 7–14 that delivers some excellent content for Science, Humanities, Maths, English, PSHE & Citizenship, Arts and Design & Technology.

If you want to get a taste for what BrainPop is, take a look at their free movies, or download the free Movie of the Day app for your iPod/iPad. (UK Link / US Link)
