!--Change wideo width and height here--> So I have been very active is perusing online education tools. One of the trends I began to notice is the use of creative animated videos. Many of the videos have snappy cartoonish avatars and animated shapes and figures. Many of them are very effective in outlining some quick and easy educational objectives. So I started doing a little research on the cost and availability. One of the "freebie" sites I came across was Wideo.com. This site offers various pricing models, but I tried out the free version to run my crash test.
My Review? I really liked it! It was pretty user friendly/ intuitive, had some creative starter images to use, and allowed for sharing in multiple ways. i.e. Youtube. So you can see my first trial was not super crazy with detail, but from a teacher's perspective, you probably want quick and easy, over time consuming and Hollywood stylized. So Wideo was a good fit overall for these objectives. If I were to be picky, it did take me some time to figure out animating objects and I'm not sure I have it completely mastered, but I think there is some good potential there. Also, to make a good narrated audio with music I had to go to Garage Band to help with that piece. For a PC you could use Audacity or another sound/music recording program. So overall..... I give this 4 out of 5 Sugar cubes for your coffee..
