Go Animate

GoAnimate.com: In the classroom by bshanaha

Like it? Create your own at GoAnimate.com. It's free and fun! Go Animate is not only a fun, but useful tool. The animations can be used in many ways, they can either stand alone, or be used in a regular video by downloading the animation and using the clip to add to a video production for a class. The animations are simple enough for even the younger student to be able to enjoy. It is unfortunate that it has a price for most of the options. Costs are what many teachers look at, as most of these costs cut out of their personal revenues. Of several animation programs I have tried, on line, this is one of the simplest. Having simple programs is important to entice novice computer users to use a program. The more complex a program is the less likely the novice will use them in their projects or classes. I have seen other educational videos made in similar programs, though I have not had a chance to find out the features of the other programs to compare them with the options of Go Animate. Go Animate could be a very fun way for teachers and student to enhance web based projects, and should not be overlooked as a possibility when a lesson plan is laid out for a certain subject.
