Happy Tuesday!
This week's tip is about making fun, fast slideshow. The company Animoto has been around for a few years, but now they offer free accounts for teachers.
You do have to sign up; see that little blue apply now icon? Click on that and sign up for a free account.
Once you do, making your first slideshow with Animoto couldn't be easier.
Here is a 60 second video that explains how Animoto works.
The secret of Animoto is that it creates your slideshow based on the music you choose. Good news, they have a wide range of royalty free music that you can use in your slideshow. What I think makes the slideshows even better are the themes. You choose a theme and Animoto builds your slideshow quickly and easily. Then you can share it by posting it on your website, sending a link via e-mail and much more.
Here is a step by step set of instructions I found from Emily Dittmar of Marshall Public Schools.
Here is her example video created by using these instructions.
If you stop over to our library blog you will see several Animoto slideshows. Most recently I made one of Jon Klassen's visit. Here is another one I made for WGST.
So, what do you think? How might you use Animoto in your classroom?
As always, please post your thoughts on our T4 Website so that all can benefit from the conversation!
Thanks,
Todd
