I had a lot of good experiences using IMovie. I feel it's important to find new ways for students to present information. I am sure students use many different type of technology at home with the evolution of video games. So, I'm sure a simple Powerpoint doesn't really motivate students like it did in the past.

I have always had students complete a 3rd quarter project and I feel like PowToon could be really effective in my class.

In addition the I like the ideal of giving students choices on presenting. It allows for more creativity as well as gives them a voice to express themselves different from there peers.
