Frequently Asked Questions

Can I include features from BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. in a single assignment?

If your school has a subscription that includes BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr., you can add BrainPOP Jr. topics and features to a BrainPOP assignment and vice versa using the Assignment Builder. You can also add any GameUp title(s) to an assignment (for BrainPOP and/or BrainPOP Jr.).

Can I save an assignment as a draft and assign it later?

Can I assign features that don’t include submittable work, such as a movie, Related Reading, or game without SnapThought?
