Learning should be fun, and
so is teaching. One awesome way to provide a fun environment in a classroom is
by utilizing technology in instructional learning. Powtoon is a fun and
exciting tool to apply in our lessons because it has animated videos, text, and
pictures that will significantly enhance the learning part in our students. It’s
a free web-based application, that for me, is a Powerpoint-Toondoo put together
in one tool. So, teachers can present their lessons in a comic strip way and embed
a voicethread or videos for more learning.
Here are some of the advantages
and disadvantages of Powtoon:
Advantages:
Make free animated
presentations with embedded videos. Its’ free.
You can add visuals from
other media
Add a voice-over
Presentations can be
exported and share just about anywhere.
If you’re not a teacher and
more on the corporate world, Powtoon is a great tool to use for project
presentations compared to a traditional still powerpoint presentation
Disadvantages:
If you want more features,
pay for the fee.
It takes awhile to getting
used to around the features of making a Powtoon presentation because some tabs
or menu doesn’t provide any information about themselves. So, you have to find
out for yourself what some tabs are for (not too user-friendly)
