Animoto in my Classroom

       Animoto is a great tool to use in the classroom. It is fun and easy! In using Animoto in the classroom, I can create a slide show about me (like I did) to show to my students on the first day of school. By taking pictures of my students throughout the year, I could make a slide show to show on the last day of class when thinking back on the school year. Teaching lessons or introducing a lesson using Animoto can also be done by using the text option when creating the video. Animoto could also be used to help the students transition to the next subject. When going from English to math, I could post pictures that have numbers, equations, etc. to let students know that it is time for math! To engage students in a fun activity/lesson, I could create a story, using images and words, with Animoto. Using only images, students could view the images on Animoto and conduct a creative writing assignment by making up what they think the images are trying to convey.
