"Some teachers are a little torn over the use of animation in the classroom – lots love it but sometimes people feel it can be a time-consuming waste of precious classroom hours, with students spending a long time perfecting something that they don’t believe has huge educational value. In fact, there are fantastic concrete reasons to take advantage of the massive range of animation tools out there specifically for use in a teaching environment. Here are just some of them!"

"Somewhere between a PowerPoint presentation and a full-fledged video is the audio slideshow. Creating audio slideshows can be a good way to add meaning to slides that otherwise might not mean much without a presenter. Here are some ways that students can create audio slideshow."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Are you looking for new tools that students may use to create slideshows that may also include audio? Richard Byrne has come up with five recommendations. The names are below and more information is available in his post. * Narrable - currently this site does not have educator accounts, but the FAQ states "excited that teachers are using Narrable in the classroom and we're working closely with educators to develop features and accounts specifically for your needs." * UTellStory - this site does offer a free account. If you want an educator account (which allows for 50 student accounts) there is a fee. * Present.me - they also offer a free account, or education account (not free) * Hello Slide- free accounts are available as well as paid * Animoto - there is an account for educators that is free as well as paid accounts

Beth Dichter's insight:
Movenote is a cross platform app that allows you to combine presentations with speech. Working with Google apps, Android, iPads and more you can upload images, video, and documents and create a presentation where you also record your voice. This post includes a short video that explains the program and interviews with a number of teachers whom use this in their classrooms with students.

Are you looking for a new presentation tool? Perhaps something that provides animation? If so take some time to go over to PowToon, a new tool (in beta). It is a "brand new Do-It-Yourself animated presentation tool that supercharges your presentations and videos!"

I watch students go the library and many immediately head towards graphic novels. Have you considered letting students use tools that allow them to create animated characters with the caveat that they must also write a story (perhaps informational text).
This post looks at five online tools you might use as well as five reasons to use the tools. The tools include Domo, Kerpoof, Anim8tor (a tool that "allows students to use algebraic and calculus functions to create 3D animations"), Zimmer Twins and Go Animate 4 Schools. Think about how these tools will assist students with communication skills, building bridges, self-expression, technical skills and presentation skills. For more information click through to the post.
