Excellent job giving critical thought to this particular software. I'm not sure if any of you visited the webinar I sent out regarding animations - but you have plenty of options out there to investigate. I agree that there are limitations to GoAnimate (as there typically are with any of the free versions of anything...) and I personally would not use it to make my own animations. However, I might allow students to use it at home to create projects (especially in the middle school grades) that we could post and share.
You will find in your schools that you will be asked to use technology - sometimes just for technology's sake. It will be up to you to find a way to incorporate cutting edge/new technologies in ways that best suit your goals, resources and time. I can't wait to review what you developed.
On an aside- there is another opportunty for those of you furthering your work with UDI. Here is an opportunity for the visually impaired:
Techbridge Guide for the Visually Impaired Explore It After School: Technology and Science for the Visually Impaired is a free resource guide that includes lesson plans for technology and science projects and career exploration resources designed to broaden the academic and career options for students with visual impairments.
