Bear in mind that the maximum length for any slide is 20 seconds and that the number of animations available is sadly limited to 12.
AUDIO
Powtoon allows you to upload music files or to create your own narration and record yourself. However, one of the weaknesses is that you can only use one sound file throughout the animation.
EXPORT
Powtoon animations can be exported and shared in a variety of forms, so they can be easily visualised on youtube or embedded on blog pages for general use.
USABILITY
Powtoon is very straightforward and easy to use, with intuitive features that any student can easily master. You would just need to create a slide and place objects on the screen, deciding when they appear and disappear and picking an entrance and exit effect from a drop down menu. It is thus a useful tool for teachers and students looking to spice up their presentations in a simple and fun way.
