PowToon is an online tool that allows anyone to make great looking animations and presentations. With PowToon animations are as easy as PowerPoints. The free version of the product allows you to create videos that are up to 5 minutes long. Videos can include text, your personal images, images from a large selection of stock drawings, music, and voice overs.
Free accounts allow you to export up to 30 videos a month to YouTube, or embed your video on another site. Students can email videos directly to teachers as well. Free accounts do have a limited selection of images and tools, but there are still plenty to chose from.
Signing up for a PowToon account is simple as teachers and students can use their Google Apps account information. Once you sign up, it's easy to get started. You can create a PowToon from a blank slate or use one of their great templates.
PowToon is a great tool for teachers, and a wonderful way to have students showcase what they have learned. What I really love about PowToons is how easy it is to make really professional looking videos. With PowToons students can focus what really matters, which is including great content.
