PowToon
Powtoon is a fun digital storytelling tool that allows teachers and students to create animated videos using a variety of characters, backgrounds, props, etc. Use text to convey your thoughts or narrate the video yourself using Powtoon's integrated narration tool. You can even set the tone for your creation with a soundtrack using Powtoon's library of royalty free music. Completed masterpieces can be downloaded, embedded on your webpage, emailed to other people, or uploaded to your YouTube channel.
