Go Animate in the classroom

My first experience with Go Animate was really neat...by just opening it up and poking around a bit, I could understand how to effectively make the video. This technology could be used to reiterate information presented in the science classroom, either through a viewing or through the students making their own projects.

Pros:

• Direct student involvement in their learning
• Website easy to learn and use
• Creative option in a science class where creativity may be difficult to foster
• Group work encourages students to become teachers
• Students will be able to have fun while learning the material: attention grabber! 

Cons:

• Students may get wrapped up in the animations and not focus on content
• Students must have access to a computer to use this website
• Could become very time-intensive
