Xtranormal makes a fun tool for making animated shows with cartoon characters. The product does text-to-speech conversion so you don't need human actors, but it will also lip-synch recorded speech if you want the voices to sound real. The Web-based version of Xtranormal will have some limitations in regards to the number of characters it will support, their actions, and the fact that you have to "render" each animation before you can see it. A downloadable version will allow more characters, more interaction between them, and it allows for a real-time preview of your show. Teachers can reinvent their lectures with Xtranormal, and students will be more engaged in learning than ever.
