I (Cathy) made a Powtoon about making a Powtoon. Just follow the link below:

If you are not familiar with Powtoon, it is an animated on-line presentation software tool that creates explainers, videos and presentations. If you can create a power point, you can create a Powtoon. Only a Powtoon is much more interesting and fun! It is an effective tool for flipped classrooms and they make great multimodal assignments for students. You can find many how-to videos on youtube. My favourite was on script writing (for powtoons):

The Powtoon web site also hosts a set of tutorials to help you get started:

The Powtoon I created was through a free account. In that account I have access to five minutes of Powtooning, 10 tunes and 11 animation styles. Cant wait to make another.
Hope you give it a try!
