  • Windows Software
Website/Weblinks:
EdTech Tool Usage Keywords:presentation, animation, video, trailer, teaser, promotional
EdTech Tool Uses:I think it could be particularly useful for short promotional/motivational videos, around the 1 minute mark. Such videos are very simple to create using this tool. For example, it could be used to advertise an upcoming course or warn students about an impending deadline. The built-in graphics and audio options make it easy to do all development in one centralised location.
Education Level(s):
  • Primary (Junior)
  • Primary (Senior)
  • Primary (SEN)
  • Post-Primary (Junior)
  • Post-Primary (Senior)
  • Post-Primary (SEN)
  • Third Level/Higher Education
Academic Subjects:While it could be used for marketing purposes, this tool also helps teachers explain rather abstract (and potentially difficult) concepts. It offers another way to discuss and present complex information in any discipline/subject area.
EdTech Tool Pricing Structure:Free trial (e.g: 30 days) then need to pay for it
Educational License/Discount: http://www.videoscribe.co/education
Comment:This tool is quite similar to tools such as Powtoon but in my view is simpler to use. Give it a shot!
