PowToon is Web-based animation software that allows users to create animated presentations by manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user created voice-overs. There is no software to download, as PowToon is web-based thus is available to any device with web connectivity, just create an account and get started. There is a free version available, as well as paid subscription that allows for more features.   

                                                               

At lower primary level (K-4) teachers can use this as a presentation tool while students from Level 5 onwards can use it to express their ideas/findings on projects and tasks.

 

 

 

PowToon is an effective educational tool as it can be used by educators to create animated presentation of content for students to view and as a form of assessment by asking students to create their own animations.  It is the answer to boring, text filled presentations that lose audience attention after just a few slides. With the ability to create voiceovers, add text, images, characters, props and music, users are able to create engaging, entertaining, professional quality animations. Students will be excited to express themselves in new ways, and teachers will reach more students. (Mersand, 2014).
