Thing 21

Emily's Clip
Animoto is a user friendly site and very easy to navigate. When I saw that this activity consisted of making a video, I was not looking forward to it because I have never been good with that kind of stuff, but Animoto makes a step by step process. This would be a great tool to use in the classroom and show the students creativity side. I could see using this tool in the beginning of the school year and have each student create a 10 picture slide that describes themself, however I believe this would only work for grades fourth or older. I chose to take pictures of my family and myself from a previous vacation to upload to the clip. Attached above is the 30 second video I created. I chose to use the music given on the Animoto site, rather than use any from my itunes. I enjoyed creating the video and this exercise will be very useful in the classroom.
