00:00:12.167 --> 00:00:13.876
with shoebox dioramas,
tri-fold poster boards,

4
00:00:13.876 --> 00:00:16.042
and a trusty glue stick?

5
00:00:16.042 --> 00:00:17.542
Well, today's
media creation tools

6
00:00:17.542 --> 00:00:19.501
allow students
to go beyond sticky cardboard

7
00:00:19.501 --> 00:00:23.375
to create, publish, and share
in ways never before possible.

8
00:00:23.375 --> 00:00:24.751
One tool that encourages
students

9
00:00:24.751 --> 00:00:26.250
to flex their creative muscles

10
00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:29.709
is Powtoon, an easy-to-use
animation builder.

11
00:00:29.709 --> 00:00:32.000
Students can produce
their own dynamic presentations

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.626
complete with text, audio,
music, stock images,

13
00:00:35.626 --> 00:00:37.210
personal photos,
or animated characters

14
00:00:37.210 --> 00:00:39.667
to show what they know.

15
00:00:39.667 --> 00:00:41.168
Whether in elementary
or high school,

16
00:00:41.168 --> 00:00:43.542
across every content area,

17
00:00:43.542 --> 00:00:45.375
students can rely
on ready-made templates

18
00:00:45.375 --> 00:00:47.542
or start from scratch
to express their creativity

19
00:00:47.542 --> 00:00:49.375
and bring their idea to life.

20
00:00:49.375 --> 00:00:52.000
And think beyond the typical
big presentations.

21
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.709
Imagine how kids could
explain a concept

22
00:00:53.709 --> 00:00:55.292
as a way to prep for a test

23
00:00:55.292 --> 00:00:57.000
or animate a scene
from a novel,

24
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.834
or even illustrate
a complex vocabulary word.

25
00:00:59.834 --> 00:01:01.792
That's the beauty
of media creation tools

26
00:01:01.792 --> 00:01:03.209
like Powtoon.

27
00:01:03.209 --> 00:01:05.292
The possibilities are endless.

28
00:01:05.292 --> 00:01:07.334
Finished videos are hosted
on Powtoon's site

29
00:01:07.334 --> 00:01:09.042
or can be uploaded to YouTube.

30
00:01:09.042 --> 00:01:11.375
Students can then share
their videos with each other.

31
00:01:11.375 --> 00:01:14.000
That's peer-to-peer learning
at its best.

32
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.834
Looking for other
digital resources

33
00:01:15.834 --> 00:01:17.375

your students' creativity

34
00:01:17.375 --> 00:01:19.375
