Thing #21

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.


Hehehe! Animoto equals lots-o fun! This was such an easy and fun program to use.  They try to catch you at every turn though with another reason to upgrade.  By the end of my experience making my video I was just about ready for it too.

There were so many neat features available for the free account that it makes me curious how much greater it gets with a subscription.  I love making home videos and in the past have used imovie but it takes forever to put anything together.  Animoto was quick, simple, and smashing! My video turned out great and I am excited to begin making more!

How neat would this be to use in the classroom.  Students could use pictures from science experiments and cooperative learning activities to document their collaboration.  With a class Flickr account it would be simple for students to select videos that the teacher uploads.  All that is left after that is arranging the pics, selecting a theme and some music and PRESTO movie magic!
