Xtranormal
City Project
I was unable to embed the video that I created for a project I did with my students, so I provided the link....hope it works.
So I am always talking about engaging the 21st century learner, but I never actually included examples that I do. I was reading Terri-Lynn's Blog (fellow grad student) last night about Photostory 3 and realized, "hey, I use that too." Then I started thinking about all the fun resources I do use.
Xtranormal is a lot of fun!!! It is a program that allows you to create movies simply by adding text. They have a variety of settings and characters and even some movements you can add to your characters. I have used it with students as an introduction to a unit.....see the city project link, but I also have created some just for fun. Try it out! Maybe instead of another e-mail, you can create a movie for someone :)
Enjoy!!

This sounds great, :Lisa. Can you tell me a bit more about the technical requirements. Is it web-based, windows, Mac? Tbanks for the video... looks like a winner!
ReplyDeleteHi Rick,
ReplyDeleteI believe (from my experience) it is all web-based. You need to sign up for an account (free) and then start creating :) I have only used Windows, but I am sure it would be fine for Mac too.
They were experiencing technical difficulties a while back as they were having problems with the program freezing. They must have fixed something as I have not had problems creating since then.
