Toontasitc 3D, Free/Paid; iPad

Toontasitc 3D is a digital storytelling app that allows students to draw, animate, narrate and share 3D cartoons. Making cartoons is easy, yet engages students in logical thinking. Students (or teachers) begin by selecting an open-ended story formats (traditional arcs) which turn into the scenes of their digital stories. The three formats are: Short Story (with a beginning, middle and end); Classic Story (with setup, conflict, challenge, climax, and resolution); and Science Report (with a question, hypothesis, experiment, results, and conclusion). Storytellers choose from a library of three dimensional settings (with surprises built in) or they can draw their own backgrounds and settings. They also choose characters related to the setting (virtual playsets chock full of animals, pirates, princesses, far away galaxies, and many more), import characters from their camera roll, or they may draw their own. There’s an assortment of fanciful creatures, and human characters represent a range of diversity. Characters are easily moved around their settings. Storytellers have the option of full character control or using a character as is. Some have rather special personalities and talents. Music can be added by adjusting the scene's Emotional Energy level and plotting out the perfect Story Arc. When complete Toontastic will record and play back the animation and voice as a cartoon that can be shared online via ToonTube or Toontastic's Global Storytelling Network. Toontastic 3D is great for education as there are no ads or in-app purchases and no logins required; the Free version comes with the basic library and tools set.
