Our first session on Animoto. Animoto is a movie making program that uses pictures and videos to create movies. It is very easy to use and kid friendly.
Teachers can get a free account, which also allows for 30 student accounts. To sign up go to www.animoto.com/education and follow the prompts.
The accompanying video shows a quick how to and an example of student work. Click here for a short video: animoto short . For a full length movie with directions and examples go to http://youtu.be/3BFNgUyEqPo.
At the top of my blog you will see a tab to view the lesson I did with Animoto. There is also an instruction sheet. If you would like me to email you the docs, let me know!
Here are a few student examples:

Let’s discuss how to use this in the classroom. Students can make book reports to share with the class, show steps of the Scientific process, or create Social Studies presentations.
