Today we made a few little Animoto videos in class. It is a fun tool to use. I used pictures from Google and from Flickr. I got a little confused on Flickr and when I downloaded, it used the url/folder or something weird and I couldn't upload them to Animoto...so lesson learned ;o) make sure I open and download the actual pic from Flickr.
We talked about getting good images and the additional search tools on Google - use those! Remember we can drag pictures to the search bar to find others like that image. It is helpful.
Animoto could be a fun tool for an assessment - highlights from a book club book, review from a lesson in social studies. Maybe it's "pictures" that show different parts of speech. A video of adjectives, etc. It seemed simple enough for students to use... I'm not sure if they would all have to create accounts? hmmm?? Something to look into. But good all the same.
