GoAnimate.com: Procrastination by meli1456

I chose to use GoAnimate! as my Web 2.0 tool. I have just found it and had so much fun creating a cartoon. It was a great outlet for some of the stress I am feeling. You are able to create characters, choose a scene, and animate. There are a large range of things you can have your characters do, sit, stand, slide, etc. Then when you save and view, you can embed the cartoon into your site. All for free!
My concern, in wanting to use this, like next week, is that there does not seem to be a way to create one teacher account. Each user must have an email account in order to save and view their cartoons. I have 18 students in the class, and another 15 in my A block, this might be hard to manage. I might have a solution with the diigo, educator account feature; they have student emails.
My problem is as soon as I find a way to implement something; I don't get a chance to follow through with the whole implementation. I get a chance to start, show it to the class, and then I have to move on to the next tool. Between work, school, and home, there is no time for exploration.
I have a resource tab in my iGoogle so I can come back to links I want to use in the future. This may help you find things easily when you do have the time to dive deeper. Great find, Melany.
