puppets (animation) and their personification of humans along with a human presence made the learner
easier to receive. This with a combination of narrative and repetition has given a mixture that quote,
watching Sesame Street regularly as a child was correlated with a GPA increase of a 0.25 in high school- Goldfigure! Early Intervention strategies and Techniques are helpful for learners of all ages.
Go Animate is a great Web 2.0 Tool for the same reason Malcolm Gladwell calls certain epidemics "sticky." The precise and user-friendly capabilities are amazing. It shows you a simple format to create your own avatar and face for your script/animation. I think this is a good tool for educators to use. It can be used as a fun and exciting introductory video for an upcoming lesson plan to help implement discussions. An educator has to keep in mind that animations are fun and exciting; they take us back to a place of youth and fantasy, taking the edge of the information that a student must ingest during schooling.
However, I do believe that with the R- rated and inappropriate content, it may be hard to get an educator's by-in on this type of product. According to a few blogs from educators, they note that in GoAnimate characters can: characters can fight, fart, flirt, drink cocktails, profanity is not allowed but you can get away with it with the usage of symbols and, promotion of consumerism with well -known characters.
