Thing #21


Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Exploring the Animoto video creator was a good experience. Until now, I had not created any video using photos from my own collection. The site does have some fairly adequate instructions but required a little bit of trial and error for me to figure it out and get it done. I chose ten photos from my family vacations over the past few summers. The vacation photos centered around water, so I chose the Animoto clip that incorporated a water theme into its creation. I chose music that described our “Beautiful World” in a melancholy sound. This was a fun lesson to experience and one that I plan to continue using in the future. For the classroom, I think educators will find Animoto useful for creating personalized lesson plans that use photos from the teachers own discoveries.
