Hello, I am looking for a simple animation software to use in my classroom to draw out refrig cycle electrical diagrams etc. would be nice if it worked directly with a clever touch screen board if not just a way to make them without being a graphics artist

Good question — I’d skip a dedicated animation app for this. Draw the full cycle once in PowerPoint or Google Slides with simple shapes and big labels, then duplicate the slide and add one piece at a time: compressor, condenser, metering device, evaporator, then the flow arrows. Do the same for an electrical diagram, one rung at a time. Present it full-screen on the board and tap through so students watch it build, and use the pen to annotate live when a question comes up. One clean master file you can reuse beats redrawing it every class.
