GoAnimate allows users to create simple animated videos by typing text that is interpreted and voiced by characters in various scenarios. Key features include creating a free account, choosing a scenario and character, typing dialogue, recording or using computer voices, previewing and editing the video, saving it, and sharing the URL to embed it or post it to YouTube.

1. Go Animate
Go to goanimate.com
Create an account- the free one has lots of obvious limitations but still does some good stuff.
If anyone wanted to build a collection of these then it might be worth thinking of a departmental
account so that they could be posted to YouTube andgive you more options.
You can record your voice or simply type text and it interprets it:

1. Once logged in click
on ‘make video’ then
click on ‘browse all’
2. choose the scenario you
want, click on it then click
next
3. Choose one of the settings
within that ‘topic’ and click
next

2. 4. Type your text in- be
careful with proper nouns
that it may struggle with. I
spell Yvert as eevair for
example.
5. If you don’t like the robotic
voices then you can record
your own (or you students’)
6. At any time you can
preview and then go back
and edit. Once it is
completely done click ‘save’
when you have previewed it
7. in ‘your videos’ you can
access all the films you have
created.
8. To share it click on the
video and go here to copy the
url. There are other things
you can do such as change
the accent but if you get this
far you will be able to work
that out!!
