Go Animate!

Go Animate!, like anything else that we use in the classroom has its advantages and disadvantages. I was very frustrated at first, but once I got a grasp on it, Go Animate! seems fun.

Pro's:

• Engaging...its not a dull monotone lecture.
  
• Could be fun in a group activity
• If students design a clip using Go Animate (project), it would be a creative and fun way to asses what material the students have learned
• Exposes students to technology
• It can be captioned for the hearing-impaired students or verbalized for the seeing-impaired students
• Could be assigned as either a group or individual project given that students have access to computers
  

Con's:

• Might be difficult for the un-tech-savy
• Not very many free options out there
• The glamor of the project may take away from the content
• If being shown in a classroom, it may be paced to fast and not interactive. To counter this, the teacher can of course pause the video and take questions though as needed.
