In this episode, Karina Linch, Chief Product Officer at BrainPOP, joins for a discussion about the importance of building background knowledge and learning new vocabulary with EdTech. We explored how technology, particularly BrainPOP's video content and interactive features like pause points, can help students in various subject areas enhance their literacy skills while building background knowledge with engaging content.
