GoAnimate!!!

I highly recommend this website. Creating this video was one of the funnest things I have done online. It is free, and fun, just as it says. It is also self guiding, you are shown how to do everything in a quick tutorial, then you sort of figure out the rest as you go. You can change animations, characters, backgrounds, special effects, sound effects, songs.....and everything else.
For teaching, this would be a great way to make a fun assignment, or even spice up a lesson plan with a funny cartoon, or helpful informational video. The possibilities are endless. I made my video about Star Trek and Captain Kirk's weirdness. I laughed out loud a lot during this entire process.
Basically, the video is broken into pages or scenes, each of these starts blank. you pick the background, add on little characters and sounds and create whatever you like. You can even record your voice for up to 20 seconds per scene, as well as add music files and pictures to be seen. Everything you add goes onto your stuff, then they have already uploaded community characters and stuff from other people. It's incredible. Go do it.

Like it? Create your own at GoAnimate.com. It's free and fun!
