Creating animation with GOANIMATE

Goanimate is a very easy online animation tool to use. It has separated programmess which help us on creating characters which is very useful. You can operate it easily by just "Drag", "Drop" and "Click". GoAnimate allows you to create characters, add music, add audio/voice-over, add props, add animation FX and sound effects. I have chosen this website because it really attracks my attention its creativity and wonderful and funny animation to create using our own imagination. I find it useful because it fosters students to use the foreign language in a more entertainment way!
