I use this to supplement my lesson plans in one of my business classes that deals with various digital medias. This lesson is absolutely awesome! My students not only learned how to use Animate, they are actually engaged and interested. it goes step by step, to the point that if they get confused I can literally go back a couple steps and catch the issue with them individually instead of investigating the entire project. Great product that is truly student centered!

Our class finished the TechnoKids project. It was really a great way to introduce the Animate features. I loved how there were specific directions but students were still able to individualize their project.
