An extremely interesting session tonight, using comic making tools and animation making tools. The two I chose to go with comic master and goanimate. I chose to go with comic master as I believe the look of the final product is fantastic. A real good comic style finish which when printed looks great, it makes me think that if I got students to use this tool and share the links it would allow some fantastic comics to be printed and put around the classrooms. The unique feature of this tool is that even though the character choice is limited it is varied enough to allow a fun twist to be added. The content is adaptable and can be made relevant for the lesson. I chose to use this with my sport as a business unit, they are level 3 learners but will appreciate the creative elements to it and the group collaboration. The content is about a theoretical company designing a new product and the next steps after creating a concept. The learners will be encouraged to do the same with the ideas they have created.
The second tool was goanimate, a site that allows 42 seconds worth of animated clips to be shown. It is relatively straight forward to use and again can cover any range of content you wish. The boardroom background fitted in well with an example board meeting which will allow learners to begin to consider the style of meetings they will need to have and how to conduct these meetings. The fun voices adds a nice twist that students will find amusing without losing any of the relevance.
All in all thumbs up.
The links to these are below, have a look and a smile.
