Animation Site

Animation sites are great for students that get bored reading a book or coping from the board. Site like Goanimate and Animoto http://animoto.com/ http://goanimate.com
can be used to create interesting little movies to show the students new information. As most students watch cartoons and are used to seeing moving cartoon character they will be more engaged inthe learning and more will to absorbe the information you offer to them. Animoto is a site where you can create a 30 second movie for free with as many pictures as you wish many different back grounds to choose from and the use of audio. This site can be used to show small movies about the environment to students and they can depic what they pick up from the presentation in their own little movie. Goanimate is a little harder an requires the students to be more patient when creating there own version of the simpsons. Even though these sites can be distracting if used correctly students can create A standard assignments on these site and have fun doing it.
