2. DoInk: Create and share custom animations
Use this free tool to create your own animations. You can draw your own pictures, or animate pictures shared by others. I had a lot of fun with this tool and made a series of (very simple) animations. You can see one of them below. Give it a try and share a link to your animations, so we can check them out.

Hi,
Thanks for these two online tools. I didn't know these, and I'm definitely checking these out.
cheers,
Thanks for the links, Liz! Gosh, Doink looks so cool and I'd love to try it with kids, but when you go to the main page there are some animations that would be inappropriate in our K-8 setting...I never know what to do in these instances...
Thanks for the links,
Barbara
