Technology suggestions for creating non-fiction work:
GoAnimate is a technology that can be used to create cartoon-like movies. This technology was used in the tutorial on outline writing that can be viewed on the Tutorial page of this website. This technology allows users to create movies up to two minutes long. It is free, but requires you to set up an account, which you will need permission from your parents to do. The movies can be kept private and exported to Youtube, if you already have a Youtube account. Parents' permission is needed before either account is created. Clicking on the GoAnimate icon above will take you to the official website.

Prezi is a technology that is generally used for presentations. However, it is a bit different than PowerPoint because Prezis are pictures that store information throughout the scene. Prezi was used for the tutorial on the 6 steps to writing an essay that can be viewed on the Tutorial page of this website. Prezi is free to use, but you must start an account. Please seek the permission of your parents before setting up an account. Your Prezi can be shared and embedded. You can email Mrs. Tullio the embed code if you would like her to embed your Prezi into the wiki area of this website. Clicking on the Prezi icon above, will take you to the official Prezi website.
