Xtra Normal is a fantastic website that offers users the ability to write scripts and turn them into pre-rendered character animation that delivers your choice of monologue or dialogue based on the scripts that you write. You can use it to inform or to tell a story. It can be used to entertain as well as educate.
You can set up your choice of scenes and characters to deliver what ever message you decide. In an educational setting, you can deliver lecture based information or "attention getter" activities into your classroom in new and interesting ways. The ability for you to control your content by adding animated expressions with background music or ambient sound opens almost unlimited possibilities in the different styles of content delivery.
For my personal use, I would enjoy using this resource for producing material presentations to my class for any occasion. I would provide students the opportunity to deliver group presentations to the rest of the class.
It can be used to recreate historical moments never before seen or heard to recapture the significance of those events. It will teach students about the work that goes into preparing scripts and developing scene based writing.
No matter what subject or what discipline you teach, Xtra Normal provides a very customizable resource for presenting easy to edit, quick video presentations for free or a nominal fee.
