Brightstorm for Study Videos

Brightstorm

101 Days of Free Tech for Teachers, Day 46
Brightstorm is a website that offers tons of videos to help students with their studying. The over 5,300 videos are short and sweet, and are presented by top-notch teachers who are experts in their field. Video topics are available for math, science, English, SAT, ACT, and AP subject areas, and give students step-by-step instructions so they can fully grasp the concepts being presented. Not all videos are free, but they do offer a wide variety of free videos. Brightstorm also includes practice tests and post-test reports. A mobile app is available through Google Play or the iOS AppStore.

How We Decide Which Free Tech Tools to Feature
Yup, there are thousands of apps, tools, services, websites, and other offerings — many free — designed for teachers and students. So, how do we sort through all of those to feature the ones which are most useful and interesting? Well… we start by sorting through thousands of these things… then we talk to the presenters in the SimpleK12 Teacher Learning Community and watch their videos closely… then we talk to many of the members in the Teacher Learning Community, teachers just like you who are using these apps and tools day in and day out. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years and have, in that time, developed a sense for what’s good and bad. Have we missed something that we should feature here? Most certainly. So, let us know in the Comments section what we should take a look at and we’ll throw ’em into the hopper.
