Animoto took its maiden voyage on Mrs. T's computer today!  The site was
 simple to use and produced a fast, quality piece for me to share with 
parents at open house.  I like the simplicity of the site and the lack 
of options for control.  This meant that I simply uploaded my pictures 
and music and was on my way--  No debating over tiny details and minor 
changes that could be made.  I can definitely see myself using this tool
 in the future.  I even could see my students being able to navigate 
through the site, upload pictures, and select music.  Very impressed!!
This animoto project came at the perfect time of the year for me- Open House.  Every year I always try to put together some sort of slideshow for parents in order to "show off" our first few days of school.  By using animoto, I was able to create a simple, yet very impressive video to show to parents.   
Does anyone have any idea for how they are going to incorporate this 
into lessons??

ReplyDeleteThat's so weird- i didn't delete it. If you click the link "Open House 2013-2014" at the bottom of the page, it does play. Something must be wrong with how I embedded the animoto. Thankfully the link still works.
ReplyDeleteNice job Lindsay...it is a great tool. I'm not sure how I plan to use it yet. I am thinking about using it to support a phonemic awareness skill...or maybe a math concept. I'll let you know.
