As it is my job to try to find new ways and tools for education, I tried to knock on that door and got the acceptance to step in and develop my own little animation.
At GoAnimate, you get some templates to work with, like a set of different locations and some different figures as actors.Then you just have to type in a sort of a dialog and then after 2 minutes -says the introduction- you can publish your own super animation.
Well, all of that isn't quite right. It takes way longer and you have to hope that not a lot of other students or teachers have the same idea at the same time, coz then it is a killer.
I managed to make a wee 12seconds animation about some pool balls talking, and as I hit the button saying publish it was with a slightly uneasy feeling. It all just sounded too good to be true; "create an animation in two minutes?"

And it was too good to be true. After having shown the progress indicator saying "publishing" for about an hour, the computer I was working at, lost the connection to the internet and I had to start all over again.
I did and managed to kind of recreate the little film, and this time it was successful saved and published.
If you feel like it you might be able to watch the wee film here.
