Assessment Tools Rules part 2
I chose Powtoon to create 2 review assessments on planets. I have the students pick a/all planet(s), research and write 3 important facts along with a hand drawn picture of the planet.
Powtoon is a platform that changes your slides to videos. It seems like it is very engaging for the students. I am on the free trial and it is a hefty bill if you choose to purchase the pro version. It was easy navigate. I chose a template already made for assignments. I was able to swap out characters, fonts, objects, backgrounds and added some slides as well as added a picture of me. It looks like you can record your voice too for the pro version. It reminded me of the Adobe Sparks platform. It is easy for the students to choose a template for reports, assignments, class goals, presentations, class syllabuses, and timelines.
Common Sense gave it 4 stars and Teachers gave it 5 stars.
I would give it 4 stars- not free
To embed the video, I had to make a Vimeo account. If you had the paid version, you could have it uploaded to a MP4. With the free version your choices are PDF or Powerpoint. I tried the Powerpoint version and it stopped the music after each slide= Not a video.
