Earlier this semester I was asked to participate in a presentation to discuss the work of the digital media tutors. Coincidentally I had also just stumbled on a web tool called PowToon that allows users to easily create animations. As is often the case in my workflow – I decided that I could both work on my presentation AND learn a new tool all at once! (Did I mention that I’m an efficiency freak?) Below is what I came up with. It was quite easy to put together and served its purpose well. Later in the semester I attended some multimedia presentations where a student had used PowToon to incorporate animations into her project. Her use was clever and smart and it convinced me that this is a tool with definite uses in curricular tech.
