Today the teacher only received all the self evaluations and after that he asked for our presentations in Prezi, then he told us the homework. For next class we have to give him a video about an educational topic. It has to be made in GoAnimate and of course in english. This will be our final task.

Today we learnt about a new program, whose name is GoAnimate, this program is used to create cartoons about different topics!

The teacher showed us a cartoon that he created in GoAnimate, it was very original. The topic was about  the management of technology in education. Also the teacher was explaining us how to use this program. It is a little bit difficult but not impossible.

The service is provided on a freemium basis to consumers,and has multiple subscription levels available for businesses. GoAnimate provides users with drag-and-drop toolsthat the company's website indicates can be used to access thousands of character models, backdrops, and other assets to create scenario-based videos - like political videos depicted during the 2012 presidential campaign. The platform offers text-to-speech character voices with customizable environments.

AT FIRST WE OPENED THE PROGRAM, THEN WE INSERT 5 COLUMNS IN ORDER TO WRITE DOWN IT A LIST OF  10 STUDENTS WITH THEIR GRADES DIVIDED IN 3 PARTIAL GRADES TO THE END GET THE AVERAGE FOR EACH ONE OF THEM.
