Also, I would teach my students how to use it slowly before expecting a presentation to be completed on it. However, like all great technology tool, the teacher needs to play with it first before they introduce it into the classroom. There are lots to learn in Powtoon, and I think it would be a great tool to differentiate presentations in the classroom. You can pick many different media channels to export to. From here is the user can put in the text or other objects. From here you can drag the slide on the time bar to how long you want to transition the character. Lastly, the swap button can be used to switch our characters. The baseball button allows for the user to select if they want the character animated and for how long. Screen shot of Powtoon Screen shot of PowtoonĪbove shows how to move the character around the slide but pressing the AB button. The downside is that most of the images and animations are only available if you subscribe to Powtoon. I like that in each different category there is several different images or animations that you can pick from. The different tools include layouts, backgrounds, texts, characters, objects, specials, graphs, sound, and images. On the right-hand side is the different tools you can use to create the presentation. Along the bottom where the where are a slide that shows the seconds on the top and the animations along the bottom this helps for when you want to have pictures transition from spot to spot or when you want to add an animation in at a certain time.

On the left-hand side of the computer screen, there are the different slides. The picture above shows the opening screen for the template classed awesomeness. This tool looks like google slides and powerpoint when you are creating it but you can add and do so much more. Powtoon is an easy tool to use, There are templates to pick from or you can create your own story. There are many different presentation platforms that teachers and student can use the internet, my usual presentation tools are Prezi, GoogleSlides, and Powerpoint but Powtoon is different in that the user can animate it. I found that I like Powtoon the best for another form of media to present with. Over the last week, I have been investigating different educational technology tools that can be used in the classroom.
