Review: Use this app to create animated stories that incorporate podcasting as well! This app would be great for teaching students about story elements because it makes them create scenes for each element of a good plot (set-up, conflict, challenge, climax, resolution). Once your cartoon is finished, you can share it on your iPad or upload it to the Toontastic website. A very engaging way to help students understand and create narratives!
