Animoto
I first heard of Animoto from friend Bryan. He was wondering if I’d recommend it for camp to use for slideshows. I was obviously no help. (End of my bad introduction paragraph.)
I’m in grad school right now to receive my M.Ed. in Teaching. I will be certified to teach K-12 Art if all goes as planned. One of my classes this semester is called Teaching and Learning with Technology. In this class we are learning a lot about different technologies we can incorporate into our classrooms. For a final project, we are to work in pairs to explore a particular technology tool and present it to the class, along with a how-to handout for our classmates to keep and refer to when they’re in the classroom. Well, my partner and I chose the Digital Photography category which just happened to have Animoto as one of the topics we could present on. (It has a great option for educators to apply for unlimited videos for them and their students. Awesome!) So I’ve been reading and messing around with it for about a half hour and it’s pretty sweet. It took less time to make the video than it did for it to render. And even then, it took about 5 minutes to render.
I thought I’d share my sample “messing around with Animoto” short. I’ll be making something a little more polished for the presentation. This is of little Anna, who we used to babysit, two years ago. Miss her.
(Also, I know. It’s been over 2 months. Get over it.)
Cool
Very cool.
YAY FOR RAUSCH POSTS! Also…just wanted to point out that we knew about something digital/technical/cool before you did. I’m fairly certain this will never happen again.
Congrats on returning to school, and also blogging. 🙂
Animoto looks intriguing. Maybe I’ll have to play around with it sometime.
Wow! It’s an honor to be mentioned in the blog…
You probably already saw it, but animoto just started allowing you to use small video clips in your slideshows. Needless to say, I am very excited about it.
I like it! (the video and animoto)
Love the video….love the song…Love the blogger
