Blog #5 Web 2.0 Educational Tools
As an educator, Web 2.0 has opened a whole new world to me. The more I learn about it, the more I do not understand why more people are not using it. It was hard to pick out only three tools to discuss and apply to education.
The first one I want to talk about is found at http://goanimate.com. This is a great site for students to play with animation. It basically has templates and you choose the combination you want. I was playing with it and chose Willy Nelson, carrying a guitar, in the desert and he was singing. The mouth moved as he sang. You could also choose what song to sing.
That is just skimming what can be done with this application. They are adding new things all the time. You can learn how to upload your own images, audio and even change the settings.
I plan to use this with my students for an animation project. This would give my students an idea how animators do their work.
