Their mission: “Pow. Toon will create the world’s most minimalist, user friendly and intuitive presentation software that allows someone with no technical or design skills to create engaging professional “look and feel” animated presentations. Our aim is to establish a new presentation category called “powtoon” – a combination of presentation and animated cartoon – as the industry standard for evolved (animated) presentations. Our greater vision is to effect the way people communicate in a profound way: “If a picture speaks a thousand words, an animation conveys an idea. ” In the next series of post we will outline how the hard work of turning an idea into reality began. . . ” * Users under the age of 18 may only use the "for Education" version of Pow. Toon 4 EDU account types are listed on the Pow. Toon EDU Pricing Page (https: //www. powtoon. com/pricing/edu/ ).

Users between 13 and 18 need permission from a parent or guardian. Users between 13 and 18 years of age may utilize a Prezi account established by their parent or legal guardian, with such parent or guardian’s approval. If you permit your child or legal ward between 13 and 18 years of age (“Child”) to use the Service, you hereby agree to these Terms of Use on behalf of both yourself and your Child.

What are QR Codes? QR is the abbreviation of Quick Response code QR codes have become popular due to fast readability and large storage capacity. The code consists of colored modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. QR code use is on the rise in education because they are easy to create, easy to read and students are intrigued by them. That makes them perfect to integrate into the classroom to increase learning among our students.

Aurasma Augmented reality allows someone to add another layer to an existing image. For example, imagine holding your phone over a poster on the wall as if you were going to take a photo of that poster, and then instantly a video starts playing to offer you additional information about that particular poster.
