BrainPop is an educator tool to help enhance instructing in the classroom. Topics are divided by subject. Search for a topic you want, i.e. Christopher Columbus, and students get a short video with cartoon hosts Tim and Moby about the subject. Following the video you can give a quiz on the subject - either graded or review (and bonus you can integrate with the Promethean ActivExpressions and votes!).
I first saw this in an 8th grade math class and even though I had heard the lesson, when I saw it reviewed by Tim and Moby on BrainPop the lesson "clicked".
You can sign up for a free 5 day trial through their website. There are several "free" videos you can access as well.
My team (fourth grade teachers) split the cost with our state money - approx. $45 each (otherwise a classroom subscription would be $195). You get three logins and even though there were four of us, we never used it at the same time so it was never a problem.
Definitely a resources I would check out.
