Its totally worth holding your vision and seeing where it leads...Maybe when tv screens themselves are wraparound or somehow 3 D or whatever might become the norm then the words can sit alongside more fully? However mum reality check here- animated graphics are BIGTIME and saving the world too!
...superheros are fab material! Along these lines there are beaut animation software-real easy to place every word wherever you feel and time it with each frame yourself-write it and direct it all.You can create your own cartoon characters and or use the ones provided. Both comic strip software and animated cartoon versions. Even better its easy to allow your child to generate their own story and write any text together in speech bubbles/frames plus voice over and or open source sound effects music etc.
According to my own observations LittleReader/Maths etc could benefit from an animation software...? StarFall is holding my 4 year old sons attention for much longer periods than slideshows ever will.
I' ve enjoyed
www.goanimate.com, Pivot (freeware)
http://www.snapfiles.com/GeT/sTiCkFiGuRe.html is stick figures...some people have done fab stuff with Pivot!
I see that variations on these very tools will be the norm for learning by the time our children are in high school but likely even before that.The transformation in education is that youth are leading and the teachers are having to follow! Think animated graphics, think Games...and think augmented reality.
