This morning in the AT&T Classroom Miss Tilden introduced the West Main second graders to Toontastic 3D creating digital animated stories. The Toontastic 3D platform offers characters, templates and backgrounds that students can use to draw, animate and create 3D stories and cartoons. Students are also able to add audio to their story by recording their own voices. The second graders used Toontastic 3D to create their own animated version of Cinderella.
Using tools such as Toontastic 3D to create digital stories provides opportunities for students to further develop their literacy skills (i.e., reading, writing, speaking & listening) and to also build important “twenty-first-century skills” for critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.
