Animation!



There are a number of programs for animation and cartoons. :) Here are some quick examples. I will get some better ones soon. If you make a better one, let me know and we will put it up here!

[|www.Jaycut.com] This is similar to Microsoft Moviemaker and iMovie, but it is free and saves everything online. It takes a little playing with and it is a glitchy, but I like it. Ms. Alsobrook's class used this for their Civil Rights Movement Project. media type="custom" key="8627286" This is DaiNisha's Civil Rights Video. Thanks for letting me put it here :)

[|www.Voki.com] Totally Free media type="custom" key="8570810" I used the text to speech feature, but you can also use a microphone and use your owe voice (i think you can also use your phone and call it in). What use (educational or fun) could this toy serve?

[|Go!Animate] Free for teachers media type="custom" key="8570938"

[|www.xtranormal.com]

media type="custom" key="8572760" This is a Geico commercial made by xtranormal.

media type="custom" key="8614172" A commerical for the book fair made by Constance B.

[|Blabberize] media type="custom" key="8614908" This is Stolen (borrowed) from the [|The Daring Librarian] This is an easy project, but I did not have a microphone and the one on my computer is on the floor. :) Think about George Washington talking about the Revolutionary War or a Llama talking about his environment.

My thoughts so far about animation. - These are hard without a purpose. I was having touble coming up with examples. But if I had to write a script or storyboard, it would have been much easier. The Book Fair commerical was much easier because I knew what to write about. Also, the Jaycut students who did their storyboard did much better than those who didn't. - The kids are going to think that these are super cool and will be excited to use them. We can easily post them on a wiki for everyone to see.
