Tech Tidbit video: Parapara Animation Tool

This week's Tech Tidbit demonstrates the use of the Parapara Animation Tool, which allows you to create simple animated cartoons, which loop endlessly.
The site is free of charge and does not require you to sign up for an account. The display allows you to draw your animation one frame at a time, and then add as many frames as you would like.  




Once you have created each frame of your animation, you add a title as well as the name of the creator, and the site creates a unique URL link where the animation can be viewed.  You can also send the link to others via e-mail, and it also creates a QR code for the link that you can access via a QR code reader.  You can also display the cartoon in a website via embed code.

Teachers can use this site for educational purposes by having students create frames demonstrating steps in a process for science or social studies.  They could also use this site to display information about themselves or their interests...any way you can imagine!
