PowToon


Combining both the fun elements there is one great tool that teachers can incorporate in their classroom  for presentation purposes in order to bring the best out of kids and enable them to put their key skills to use. It is evident how much students will need the creative and critical thinking in the coming times to stand out and so the tool helps in the same as well.

The tool, “PowToon” is web-based animation software that allows user to quickly and easily create animated presentations by manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user created voice-overs. PowToon is used by businesses to create engaging, creative presentations that capture attention, and can be similarly used for educational assessment and content delivery.

With a super easy interface the tool can work wonder for educators. All you need is to get familiar with the tool just once before you bring it to kids’ desk. The tool is easy to use so it can be integrated for cool presentations and the best part is the use of animated characters which keeps kids interested and engaged throughout learning.

Here's my PowToon for teaching grammar while describing jobs, enjoy!

Storytelling - Storybird

Using storytelling when teaching children and adults is a valuable strategy. Stories allow learners to use their imagination more fully. This creativity process encourages free thinking and formation of innovative ideas. Learners are introduced to the intricacies of language that can be difficult to teach outright without a solid foundation. The flow of a story as the plot unfolds and the characters are developed also introduces learners to new words and solidifies their pronunciation. Many stories can be used to support the virtues that are important in society, home and school. Stories that develop character traits such as courage, wisdom, honesty, kindness and open-mindedness can be used to set the stage for emulation and can deepen understanding the subject. An engaging story draws all the learners' attention. So, here is our story created in Storybird, voiced by me and my friend Gözde Özendi. Enjoy!

Voki

Voki enables you to create an avatar in your own voice using a talking character. You can customize your Voki to look like you or take on the identity of different characters such as animals, monsters. It is a really good way to entertain your students or help out the introverted ones! Here’s my Voki clown, enjoy!

Teachers can use Sutori to share pre-made stories, construct their own, or create assignments that require students to build multimedia-rich stories. It is quite useful and fun! Here's my Sutori about All About Me for students to share information about themselves.
