This website is different than many that I have come across. It allows the user to choose characters, backgrounds, etc. and the dialogue. The website then takes the text and matches it up with the cartoonish characters mouth and creates a movie for you. This could be a great option for classrooms that do have the budget for digital cameras. This could be used in any grade level. however a greater amount of training would be required for younger grade levels.

This website is another resource my students use on a regular basis. It contains many great sound effects, sound bites, etc. that they can use free of charge in their videos. This website could be used in any grade level.
