This week my class assignment was to create an animated video. There are various sites that one can use to create the videos. One that was recommended was http://www.xtranormal.com/ . The videos I have seen using this site sound very robotic so I thought I would explore a bit to see what other video generating sites are out there. I found the site http://goanimate.com . I thought the voices sounded more natural so I decided to go with this site. It was rather fun playing around with the options on the site. The free version is fairly limited, but it still had plenty of characters, props, backgrounds, and effects, so I decided to go with it. The subject was to be the Flipped Classroom. I will attach my video and you can see for yourself if I covered the material in the 2 minute limit imposed by the free version http://goanimate.com/videos/0wzJXlAhp2m8 .
This class has been exposing me to new and different websites and ideas in education. I am glad to be a life-long learner and to have this opportunity to add to my knowledge base. Because of my experiences in this class and with this assignment I am leaving you with a quote from the great animator and visionary Walt Disney. He said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” So true!
