We love to see students and teachers work together on Common Craft style videos. Almost every day we see photos and videos from classroom projects like this one. You can find 100's Common Craft style videos on YouTube.
While these live-action videos are awesome, Common Craft style videos can also be created using GoAnimate's online video maker. Last year, we partnered with GoAnimate to offer Common Craft Cut-outs as an upgrade to their standard product. Today, this access has been extended to teachers and schools.
GoAnimate for Schools + Common Craft
GoAnimate for Schools offers the GoAnimate video maker with pricing and features that are specific to educational use. And for the first time, Common Craft Cut-outs are available as an add-on to GoAnimate for School accounts.
Teachers and students can now make Common Craft style videos online using genuine Common Craft Cut-outs. Yay!

It wasn’t surpising to see them go from making a couple of videos to being hired by Facebook, Yelp, SAP, etc. They are very good at what they do.
Here are a couple of examples (see their whole portfolio)
Like all members of the Explainer Network, they have a listing on our website that points business their way. We all see incredible potential in short animated videos and the Explainer Network is one way for us all to learn from each other and promote the value of our little industry.
