Thing #21

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Animoto is super easy and super cool! At first I thought I was going to have to go Facebook and save some of the pictures to the desktop and upload them from there...but oh no....Animoto had a better idea and linked directly to my Facebook account and retrieved the pictures for me! Can I say wow! Wow. This site is an awesome tool for the classroom...you could take pictures of the students doing different projects or just during class time, create a quick easy video on Animoto, and share it with parents via email or better yet a blog you created for the purposes of staying connected to the parents of the students in your class. As a mom, I love seeing pictures of my babies in different environments where I am not present and with my elementary students I would like to give my parents the same experience. Animoto makes this really quick and easy to do! OH, if you don't have time to wait for the video to finish, go ahead and do what you need to do because Animoto will send you an email when they are finish...why can't the cable guy do this instead of making you wait for him for 4 hours?
