PowToon is a brand new presentation tool that allows you to create animated presentations and cartoon style videos just by dragging and dropping.

I plan to study the presentations of the children in my classroom because I want to find out if digital or oral presentations have a greater impact on the amount of information retained and student engagement during the presentation to show which presentation format is more meaningful so that I may butter understand which format to assign for future presentations.

The use of digital presentations will be more engaging to students than an oral presentation.  

The more enthusiastic the presenter, the more likely students are to be engaged in the presentation.  

The use of media (music, video) in a presentation will increase student engagement.  

Students will retain more information from a digital presentation.

"If action research is to become a part of your professional disposition and be continued over time, it must benefit both your continued professional development and student outcomes (Mills, 2011, p. 161).

"Action planning is a time for reflection- reflection on where you have been, what you have learned, and where you are going" (Mills, 2011, p. 160)
