Here is a very easy animation  tool.  You choose a background,   a sky,   one or two stock characters, a simple action ( chase, rendezvous, etc) and add some text for dialogue.  


Classroom Idea: 
Teachers could  enliven simple instructions with an animation. 
 Have students spice up their presentation or website with a easy to make simple story.

podcast idea

 Classroom idea: Create podcasts in a public space. I used Audiomemes on my ipad to record and followed these instructions. http://www.techedupteacher.com/google-drives-best-kept-secret/
