Animation sites and story book sites

Making your own mini animations is getting much easier these days, thanks to sites like www.voki.com which do all the hard work for you,  making it quick, easy and fun.

Here's an example of a cartoon character that you can personalise with a supplied or uploaded background, add your own voice or type text which is turned into voice, and then publish.

Another site which allows you to make an extended dialogue between 2 characters is xtranormal.com which adds your text to a movie, complete with characters that gesture and different camera angles.

Then there are quick ways to produce digital story books.

Batalugu [http://batalugu.com/] is a new free (beta) site that is great for creating digital books. The easy to use on-line tools will take you on a step by step journey as you write, rhyme, illustrate, design and print your book. This user friendly site has lots of options to choose from such as: themes, page layout, and is ideal for digital storytelling. The book you create can be shared online with everyone.

Another one is Storyjumper, which will print and sell you the resulting picturebook.
