Miss Reed's PowToons!

PowToon.com is a fun way to make videos.  There is so much you can do with your movie, just create a free account and create away!  You can add cool text effects, animations, pictures, music, voice, etc. and videos can easily be uploaded to YouTube. Kids will LOVE THIS!!  I created a very simple one in about 10 minutes...My 1st PowToon Video.  Here is an example of how another teacher used it in class: Click here for Teacher Example.
