Go!Animate-animation website
GoAnimate.com, the online platform that enables everyone to create their own customizable animations, it has recently announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with CopCorp Licensing to add Jim Benton's popular (and hilariously rude) It's Happy Bunny™ to its ever-expanding list of characters. You can now create full animations using It's Happy Bunny, providing a whole new world of possibilities for interacting with and creating your own humor to share with your friends.http://goanimate.com/howdoesitwork tutorial.
http://goanimate.com/ is a website that allows you and you students to create animations with background scenes, audio, music, and animated characters, in a storybook format. Generally, visual clips and different visualization assets have changed the way we elaborate and share our ideas. Studies show that the human brain is more capable of processing what it sees compared to what it reads. This is because communication channels, more often than not, focus on the visual and verbal aspects of what we see and hear. Visualization helps in associating the need to rapidly understand the feedback we receive in relationships and also aides in allowing us to share story lines that someone could find difficultly dealing with.Go!Animate is an entertainment portal, and makes use of these animation techniques, which can allow the user to convey their ideas with visual impact; making sure your ideas are delivered. Students can translate any topic, project or event into an animated video. There are tutorials and examples and this provides a user-friendly interface, making sure that your use of the site is smooth. Go!Animate is complete fun and a perfect platform to shape your imagination into an animation reality.

Thank you Patti for looking into the Go Animate Web tool. Although it looks like you are using this tool for a different content area than my own, I could see how this would be useful to my French instruction. I appreciate that you have discussed this tools utility in visualization and it is exactly that for which I would use this tool. Having students associate, for example, new French vocabulary words, with animations that they create and share could be effective in giving students ways to build their vocabulary without wrote memorization. I would definitely consider using this in my classroom, but my concern would be that there is some cost involved. Have you looked into what applications are available for free and if they are still useful without using the paid applications?
