Vocabulary Lessons on Powtoon!

Have you discovered the awesomeness of Powtoons yet? I found out about Powtoons from my Twitter friends (one reason why I love Twitter!) and it sparked my curiosity.

We are using the Nifty Thrifty Fifty (we call it Wonderful Words) by Cunningham in our Language Study block. 

Up to this point, we have been using our Flipcharts on our Promethean Boards in the ActiveView program. The purpose is to introduce these special wonderful words that can help us read and write over 300 more related words. 

Our students are loving it, but I was getting bored (and I think they were getting slightly bored) with the bulleted lists of words and lessons. Powtoons allowed me to create a more engaging video presentation that can be put RIGHT INTO MY FLIPCHART! YEY! 

If you don't have a Promethean board, no worries! They can be formatted into pdf files and Powerpoint! To see how my first videos turned out, click on the images. I hope to learn more and make them much better...these are my first shot at it:

I hope you find this useful and post links to your creations here! I love Powtoon!
