GOANIMATE - Description

Click here if you want to see some activities:  http://y-generati0n.blogspot.com/2011/10/goanimate-activity.html


This website provides the students with the opportunity of creating their own videos on-line. I believe it is highly motivating because they can decide on the characters as well as on the setting and dialogues they want to use. It is easy to use so they won't feel frustrated. Although there are some restrincions (because in order to get better options you need to pay), it is a great tool for them to investigate and be creative.

The following steps will help you start preparing your video:

1)      Go to the following web page: www.goanimate.com




2)      In order to start creating your animated video, you will have to sign up. Start completing the blanks on the right with your e-mail address, your display name (that is, your nickname) and your password. Once you’ve finished, make sure you’ve clicked on “I agree to the Terms of Use” before creating your account!




3)      Once you are logged in, you can start creating your video! Go to “create” on top of the webpage




4) Select the appropriate setting for your video and click on “Make a Skit”. I’ve chosen “Office Gossipers”





5)  Let’s get started! First, we need to choose the setting. Click on the arrows forwards and backwards for more options. When you are ready, click on NEXT



6) Now, let’s select the actors! There will be two of them. Click on the arrows and select the ones you like. When you are ready, click on NEXT




7) What are your actors going to say? Well, you can either write a dialogue or record it. If you want to write a dialogue, just click on the character and write what you want him/ her to say. Remember that you can only add 10 dialogue lines.



By clicking on the flags, you can select the language your dialogue is going to be read in and the voices you want your actors to have:




8) Once it’s ready, go to “preview” and check it out




9) Save it! And complete the blanks so that it is published:





10) Click on “publish” and that's all!
