Creating Classroom projects and Instructional Aids with FREE Animation Tools

1. You will need a Gmail (Google) acct to make this easier. (It is not completely necessary, but I like a one-stop-shop approach to logging in and seeing my videos.)

2. Log into google acct. and go to YouTube (should be part of your google acct.)

3. Get to the URL [|__http://youtube.com/create__]  Notice all of the options!

 TODAY: We will be focusing on TWO of these options. [|__http://goanimate.com__]

[|__http://xtranormal.com__]

These two programs do not require the user to  upload footage.

 THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BRING TO THE TABLE IS A SCRIPT OF WHAT YOU WANT SAID.

4. Let’s begin by creating a project script. Jot down something you would like to create. Script out a few key messages. Now write those into a dialogue between two people. (For your students, a template / graphic organizer would be great for this part.)

5. We are going to work with xtranormal first. Let’s watch the tutorial, and then move forward. 6. IF TIME: Let’s try [|__goanimate.com__]  and watch the tutorial before we begin.

7. Share time!
