Thing #5a
I was checking out Langwitches and found a teacher, Webfooted Booklady, who had her students create projects using Animoto, in her class wiki, she has posted their finished results and asks for comments. The ones I looked at were really good for being so short. Animoto looks incredbily easy to use, you feed your photos and music into it, it takes just minutes and it's-free. I plan to try it this afternoon. What a great way to present information, especially book reports or any short topics.

I've seen some very good educational uses of Animoto too, though I've not yet tried it myself :)
ReplyDeleteHow about linking Webfooted Booklady's blog post in yours? Then we can all check it out!
Can't wait to see you Animoto production - please share :)
OK
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Animoto until now. I am really curious to explore it though. It looks like not only could I have my students create projects with it, but I could as well. It would shake up the usual lecture.
ReplyDeleteAnimoto is VERY popular in the "ed tech" community. I didn't include it as a format option for your slideshow Thing, but you'll probably see it show up under another Thing where you can explore some Web 2.0 tools.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm really thrilled about is that you've stumbled onto it via another blog. It is a great tool and I hope to see what you might end up doing with it. I hope you'll embed your project in a future post!
