Investigation Comparison











Simplicity- In  goanimate.com I found that it is a very efficient  and simple way of understanding how to make a video, a cartoon video. This website really helps you by showing you  step by step in how to make the video. It has certain themes and a lot of character choice and even helps you design your own character.That is why I rated it  a 4 . Because I think it would be really interesting and fun way  for the 6th graders to learn. In animoto it somewhat helps you but not really. In animoto it is also simple not as efficient  in helping you step by step , so it is not really entertaining for a 6th grader. Animoto.com is basically just how to make a slideshow, on just pictures, so I don't really know how to make a slideshow of pictures interesting for a sixth grader. So it doesn't have character choice,and doesn't have a variety  of tools  to help me make a video interesting, fun, and helpful for the 6th graders.

Themes- In goanimate  there is a lot of themes to choose from , many skits and situations , from being in school to being out ate the lounge or in the streets or even at the house. That is why I think that this website is so unique and efficient .That is why  decided to rate it a 5 because it really does help you in creating a situation where things are just simpler to use.It will be a understandable fun and interesting way for the 6th graders tm understandAnimoto has some themes to choose from but it really lacks , it is not as plentiful as goanimate. That is why I rated this measurement I animoto a 1, because it is not a real good choice fro me in this project, for 6th graders

Character-Since animoto is a website to make a video out of photos , it doesn't really have characters. But goanimate does has a  good quantity, but lacks in some. You have the choice of creating one of your own too. If you want you can buy them, goanimate charges for any addition characters , which I think is really not necessary to make the video interesting for the 6th graders. The characters in go animate are still a great help in making the video and making the 6th graders understand what the Design Cycle is. I think that the 6th graders will really enjoy the video  and learn at the same time.That is why I  rated it a 5 , because of the nice selection of characters.Since animoto doesn't have character choice or any characters at all , that is why I rated it a 0, because in this case it does not help me create a proactive video that will surely make 6th graders understand what the design cycle is in a fun interesting way.

Font- Since goanimate is a website to make videos for kids , it doesn't really have any text or font, only if you want to put in some dialogue , which there is only the font that they give you. That is why I rated this measurement a 0 for lacking in choices. Even though I think font in this case is not really that important, because it is a cartoon video for kids. But in animoto it does have some choices to choose from, since it is somewhat like a slideshow.That is why I rated animoto in font a 5 because they do have font choices but they are very limited.They only have about 6 or 7 fonts to choose from.

Music-Goanimte doesn't really have a music choice it has more of tones and rings and special effects noises but you can't really have music to choose from . That is why I rated it a 4 because it does have rings and tones to choose from but it doesn't really have like popular music to choose from, but it doesn't really need music , maybe rings and tones to make sounds of falling things and stuff like that since it is a video . In animoto it does have music to choose from, but you can get it from your computer. That is why I rated this part in animoto a 5. Because you can get all the music you want.
