What is Tellagami?
Tellagami is one of our core apps that allows students and teachers to create an animation with ease. "Using animation with your students can have a profound effect on how they participate in a project. Their work can be liberated when they have the opportunity to separate themselves from the physical world, removing concerns about appearance and general physics. Students who are usually introverted tend to really shine with animation. It makes them feel safer and more willing to put their work out there." Read more here.
