Digital Story Telling: Animoto

Animoto



Animoto is a Digital story telling cite. You can create movies and slide shows of your home videos and pictures.You can choose your images, you can music and decide how you want to share your slides.You can sync Animoto to your Facebook account, Flickr, Photobucket and more. When you decide to share you can upload your video to any of your social accounts or you can make a DVD.

I thought Animoto was a cool way to share images. It would be a neat way to send parents a film of whats going on in the classroom. This cite had many features and was very simple use and its FREE! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

This is my video I created:

1) This is an online scrapbooking, poster maker, invitation maker, and slide show maker.

2) This could be useful for teachers to send parents info about a field trip or an interactive project.

3) I learned how to use this program but just exploring. It gives you instructions depending on what you decide to make. You do have to download the program to your computer to run it.
&;I would say this tool is very user friendly. I would definitely recommend it.

Creating this Blog!!!

I thought it was really cool creating a Blog. It was a little difficult to figure out at first, but once you got a hold of things it became very simple to set up. This would be great for sharing thoughts or opinions. There are alot of other cool items or gadgets you can add.
