Go Animate - make your own cartoons

Used this with Year Sixes to create stick-figure cartoons. It's great!! We used MailCatch to create temporary email addresses to register our own accounts. The children chose nine suitable backgrounds from Google Images and uploaded them to their own space on Go Animate Animation Studio area. After showing them the basics, they were quick to help each other (and me!) work out more advanced features, like changing the length of time the speech bubbles could stay on the screen. Unfortunately there are guns as props, so a discussion on audience and suitability was useful before we began.
