Powtoon is a simple tool students can use to create videos and presentations. Many of the sites features are available with the free account. Students can choose from themes or create their own cartoon videos. They get the chance to manipulate characters, add images and speech, and experiment with different graphic organizers of information. I have used Powtoon myself as well, when creating introduction videos. It is a nice way to meet students on their level. I have also found that students are fantastic at maneuvering the site- they always find a new way to add creative flair to their projects. The site also allows you to switch your productions back and forth from a video format to a slideshow format. This was a big help for back to school night; I was able to use the fun upbeat video I showed my students to the parents and could slow down and elaborate on some points.
