BP4_Go!Animate (anmimate. . .animate. . .animate. . .)

Did you like the echo effect? Here I am again to share with you another Web.2.0 tool I found called Go! Animate. This is a wonderful tool to use in the classroom or in training sessions if you have content that you would like to give your students to use in a hands-on way. Go!Animate is a cartoon creating platform with templates and ways to create your own characters and scenarios while working in popular subjects or subjects you choose. Go!Animate also has a special platform for schools with teacher created content.
I created my own  for you to view by using the 4-step templates which included adding my own dialogue.

 Check out my Go!Animate cartoon here. The great thing about this program is that the possiblities are endless for students creating presentations of subjects and there are so many varieties of ways a cartoon can be created. As you make more videos and have them rated and shared, you earn points towards unlocking more characters and templates. A very handy feature is the ability to send our creations to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Email. Embed codes and URLs for your cartoons are available in your account. And the best news is: It's all free!! Check out my animation above and tell me what you think or tell me the ways you think this program could also be used in teaching/trainings. Happy Blogging!
