Gang- attached find an 80-minute lesson plan for using the website www.xtranormal.com in the classroom.

I had several classes that made some pretty funny videos and the kids loved it.

cheers

Hi folks

Many people have seen the youtube videos showing the animated characters in a funny dialog.  In fact, there is one that a disgruntled ESL teacher did about teaching in Korea...

I used the website for several lessons/ projects with 4th, 5th and 6th grade elementary students.

The 6th grade students got the most out of the activity, but the 4th graders had some surprising results too.

The site is free to use, but you need to buy points/ credits in order to use custom characters and save/ publish videos on the web.   Because I had some selfish curiosity about using it in class, I bought the points using my own money..

Here's a link to the videos that we made in class, feel free to let me know if you have any questions or ideas.

This caused a riot with the teachers in my orientation group. Highly reccomended, but it takes quite a bit of time to prepare the lessons.
