Explain everything
While working in explain everything this year I learned that you can write and draw with your finger on your ipad. You can also pick from a variety of colors they have already made for you or make your own on the color wheel. If writing with you finger is not your thing, you can type on your slides with many fonts they have available. They also have the option to use a laser pointer if you are presenting to a class or a group of people. I also learned that you can add in pictures from the internet or chose one from you device library. Lastly, while working I noticed you can also add voice recording to your slides describing them more in detail.
Go Animate
This program was my favorite one we worked on this year. This is a program only available on a computer. In this program you can make a cartoon based on the subject of your choice. First you pick a background from the ones they have available. Next you add in your character, you can use the ones they have already but you also have the option to make a custom character to fit your cartoon better and give it a more professional look. next it us time to add in your props to make your scene even more spectacular.all you have to do is look up the prop you what in the search tab and they will most likely have a prop according to your request. Next you and in actions like walking, sitting, running,talking on the phone, you name it! Lastly you have to add talking. you choose the character you want to talk. then you add what you want to say in the box. They have a large variety of really silly voices that your character can use. well that's it, with the wide variety of effects the possibility are endless!
