online animation

Domo animation is the best. But you can also try  Dvolver.  Check out Xtranormal as well.

 

 

more fun sites

I've just discovered 2 sites where you can upload your photo and the site 'photoshops' it, inserting it into scenes of your choice.  Try using it in the classroom - take pix of the pupils and upload them to the site. They can select their scene.

The sites are

Fun Photobox  http://funphotobox.com/

and Funny pho.to  http://funny.pho.to/

slideshare summary

Following a workshop for Herts head of MFL on Friday 10th December 2010, I've put many of the ideas on this blog + mflteaching part 2 2 into the  sldeshare presentation below. I've added Jigsaw Planet to the slidecast.

I've also discovered a  Collage-maker 'Shape Collage'  which is a free download.  It's also worth looking at Nottingham High School mfl  whose pupils  are doing some good stuff with an animation creator called Domo nation and a storybook creator called Storybird.

Jing screencasting

Jing is a screencasting tool.  In other words you can record what's happening on your computer screen, add audio and broadcast it to your audience (or the world). Camtasia is also worth a look but is more expensive and complex.

In class you could use Jing to explain a text - here's a basic example.  You could also use Jing  to mark a piece of work which has been submitted as a word document. You can add an audio commentary as you go along and e-mail the finished movie back to the student (be careful though - movie files are big)
