Watching the “demo” for Go!Animate, you might think a dream has come true. Now you will be able to create all these situations/ backgrounds / scenarios that you need so much to make a certain activity fit into your perfect lesson. In addition, students will put their creativity to the test and have fun while they practise their English. In fact, Go!Animate has a lot of potential for the ELT classroom. However, not everything that glitters is gold and you should be aware of the following drawbacks before you get too enthusiastic about it: Go! Animate offers:
- a reduced number of backgrounds – of course you can add your own, but still...
- a limited number and type of props;
- a limited number of themes and choice of characters within those themes.
When you are defining your characters,
- you cannot combine two actions in the same character in the same frame.
- the choice of movements and actions on offer is also very limited.
- they tend to look very mechanical and silly as a result of very mechanical and repeated movements.
Nevertheless, don’t let all these drawbacks put you off. The advantages this tool presents far outweigh its drawbacks.
