Write a story and make an animated video with Plotagon
Fresh off the launch of the iPhone version of their signature app, Plotagon, a Swedish company based in Stockholm will be exhibiting for the first time at BETT2015. Plotagon is a user-friendly creative app that allows students to tell stories as animated videos. The Plotagon team will be on hand at stand F571 to provide demonstrations and bring you into the world of animated storytelling.
“Making animated videos is a brilliant way to bring out your students’ creativity”, says Mia Crilley, Head of Education at Plotagon, “With our app students can easily create
animated videos while improving their writing and storytelling skills. It even lets those who are shy and silent express themselves in front of class.”
In addition to the consumer market there is a great potential in the education sector as a creative learning tool. As most other areas of society, teachers around the world are experiencing the digital transformation and trying to find new ways to renew their teaching methodologies. Plotagon offers an innovative teaching tool that captures both the attention and creativity of students.
Educators can use animated videos for presentations, for exploring subjects through storytelling, for creative writing, or for your flipped classroom. Plotagon brings out creativity and love of the written word in everyone. The app is an affordable addition to your classroom as a license covering up to 50 students and one teacher costs £80 per year.
Come meet Mia and the team on stand! Create a video, ask questions and sign up your school! We look forward to seeing you there.
