Goanimate.com - Fun animation

So I've been playing around with a FREE new tool. I just heard about it last week. Its called Goanimate.

I have always been a fan of avatars and cartoonlike tools like Xtranormal.com and Voki.com and this one is a lot of fun too!

Instead of asking students to put together a powerpoint slideshow of a cultural event, why not ask them to create their own cartoon character as they reinact scenes from the event! They will love this tool and they will be able to make the characters just how they like and re-live the event or present whichever concept you want them to learn. Think of the time they will spend thinking how they will show the clothing, the background, the accents, and words, all focused on the topics that they study (Food, clothing, weather, school, life, and everything else. ;-) Pretty cool!
