Updates to Flash Features

Primary Source on BrainPOP and the Activities feature on BrainPOP Español will remain in Flash until early December. At that time we will replace these Flash-enabled features with new versions built in HTML5. 

If you have assignments created before December 2020 that include the Primary Source feature, please note that these will not be available after the feature is converted to the HTML5 version.

You can read our Release Notes for updates.
