Integration of BrainPop and Google Apps
Google Apps is a series of services provided to schools. It includes Google drive, calendar as well as websites. 66% of K-12 Schools are currently using Google Apps. Other apps such as BrainPop and EasyBib can be added to the Google Apps Dashboard.
Single Sign On
Once users are logged onto Google with their email address, they are automatically logged onto BrainPop and any other apps that have been added to the dashboard.
Spreadsheets
Teachers are able to import quiz scores and students are able to send scores to teachers of quizzes they have taken. There are multiple tabs on the spreadsheet and each spreadsheet holds up to three quiz results per student.
Reflection
I enjoyed the Webinar. I really found it interesting how BrainPop can be used in conjunction with Google Apps. Both of these are things that I use separately, however, now I see they can be integrated very easily. I thought BrainPop did a very good job on the presentation of materials. There where screenshots with arrows to direct the user as well as the presenter who was extremely helpful. I did think the pace could have been a bit faster, however, due to the number of people logged onto the webinar it did make sense to move slowly.
