Animoto

Animoto would be a powerful tool to use in the classroom. Students will be able to make amazing presentations using a platform that is simple and engaging to use. Animoto has a wide range of applications in the classroom, from teacher to student use. Teachers can use it to create engaging introductions to content that is going to be studies, or review videos that they can place on a website for students to reference. Students could make presentations to illustrate their understanding of content across subject levels. Another benefit of Animoto is the wide range of stock images and video that make it ideal for elementary students. They can simply look up content using key words and place it in their video with their typed content. I am definitely going to be incorporating this resource in my class for student projects, and also to enhance my own instructional delivery. I plan to use this Animoto video at the beginning of the school year for two main reasons: to give them a preview of the content we will be studying in class, and also to give them an example of one of our projects for the year.
