When I used GoAnimate, I was a little confused at first. After I fiddled around a little and explored the website, I began creating a comic strip. It was actually a lot of fun. I think this would be a great tool to let students use. Differentiated instruction and assessment is a crucial part of being a teacher. By letting students create comics, you can allow another medium for learning to be expressed. I believe that students can use this to create real-life dialogue situations. They can practice making sense of the language that they are learning.
This is the video that I created. It was meant for the teaching purposes of discussing idioms. I would show my students the comic and then we would discuss what those idioms meant.

My name is Laura Walker and I am currently enrolled in the English for Speakers of Other Languages Master's Program at the University at Buffalo. My goal is to be the best teacher for my students, and in order to do that I must always be learning as well! I will be reflecting and discussing teaching strategies both in and out of the classroom.
