After some time without posting anything, I'm here again to talk about animations!! These are things that I really like to work with! You can watch two video animations that I've created using different tools.
The two tools can be used the same way. I'm going to tell you what I did with my students: I proposed them a theme and they had to create an animation about this theme. They had to talk about feelings, but I think it can be used to talk about almost everything!! In my case, since I dind't have computer for every student, they created it at home on a coletive account I've created for their class. But if you have a lab or something like that it can be used at school. It would work even better.
The first animation I'm posting here was created using Xtranormal. This is the one I've used with my students. It's simple to use and the results are great! The bad things are that all the instructions are in English (it can be good if you're working with advanced students, but lower level students tend to have problems to understand them), and the voices the website offers are really mechanical, the characters end sounding like robbots. But children don't care about that at all!! :)

The second one was created using GoAnimate. This was my first trial using it and I loved it even more than Xtranormal! You can spend hours and hours playing with it!! You can choose different scenaries and characaters and effects and sounds and a lot of things!!! I think students would feel a lot more comfortable using GoAnimate than Xtranormal. Watch the result of my frist experience using it!!
