Zimmer Twins
Zimmer Twins is a website for kids to make animated short movies. The site features around three characters, Edgar & Eva Zimmer & their black cat, 13. The characters are featured in either short story starters or used for students to create their own stories from scratch. Students can create a movie without registering, but to save a project they have to be registerd users. The site is monitored daily to ensure age appropriate content. It also helps the students to be content creative, & not just a content consumer.

Classroom ideas,
 * Students create their own movie or presentation about a historical event, describing a science concept, or in a math story problem
 * The site promotes – the writing process, grammar, ESL, social studies, creative writing, & media literacy & production
 * Use the site as a story starter
