Why is Go!Animate Necessary? Students today have never known a time without the internet. They use it daily and rely on the internet for information and communication. According to Greenhow, Hughes, and Robelia (2009): Today’s youth are frequently creative, interactive, and media oriented; use Web 2.0 technologies in their everyday lives; and believe that more use of such technologies in school would lead to increased preparation and engagement (p. 247).
