Toontastic is a great app for younger students to explore digital storytelling. With many cartoon characters and backgrounds to choose from, and the ability to draw their own, this app makes it easy for kids to create simple animated stories. Students have fun while learning about basic parts of a story, and are able to record dialogue as they move characters around the screen. Finally, background music can be added to match the tone of their stories.
This app also includes an easy option for sharing published work online, via
Toontube.
Recommended for ages 5-10, but fun for all ages. Intuitive and simple, and guaranteed fun,
"Lights, camera, play!"
