die little cartoon man

I might be temporarily hooked on go animate.

I’m really looking forward to getting the students to make their own.

With the SNAB course they provide these awful ugly introduction to topic videos. They aren’t really engaging or, if I’m brutal, interesting. When I started teaching this I used it, but never again. But it’s a shame in a way, it’s nice to introduce the new topics, so I had a go with go animate this afternoon. It doubled up as my pbwiki summer school homework as well.

I’ve added it to the new wiki I’m trying to get ready for the new term. Now I’ve more of an idea of how to use them I’m hoping it’ll be more successful than the version 1.0 one I had last year. I love the idea of such a great collaborative resource so I’m pleased that I’ve had the chance to play with it this summer.

I’m hoping to set up some long term individual projects on the wiki for each student, no matter what course they’re on. For the vocational students it’ll contribute to their assignments wonderfully, especially the year two national students. For the AS/A2 it’ll be a great revision source for them I hope!
