Animoto

This week I shared Animoto with the class. Until this project, I had never heard of this tool before. However, I think that it is a very useful and easy to use tool to incorporate in classrooms. The process of composing you Animoto video is fairly easy. They have tutorials and good instructions throughout the whole process. The general free version is alright for short projects, but I am glad that there is a free version for teachers to use as well.

I could see this tool being good for class website as a way to display photos from field trips or projects that your class has done, with their families. I also think this could be a nice way to review content that the students have been working on. I would tend to use these tool over having my students use the tool because my class will be very young, but they certainly would enjoy watching my creations!
