I just signed up for a new educational Animoto account. When I was at the TCEA Convention in Austin a few weeks ago, I saw a presenter demonstrate a book review by a student using Animoto. The fourth graders are working on their summary skills, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to let them try out Animoto. I am currently debating on setting up their own accounts using an extended email address, or setting up an account for each computer in the lab. The third graders have just finished researching their famous person, so I may let them try it out as well. They have saved several pictures to their flash drives. Using Keynote or Pages, they could type in large font relevant information from their research and save the pages as jpg files, or screen capture the pages to upload to Animoto. Below is the Animoto I created from the pictures and video taken during the week at TCEA 2010 in Austin.
I loved the video! You are a greater asset to our school than I can even put a value on other than to say, You are priceless!
What a group. As always I stand in awe of the skills and kind harts of White Oaks Staff. I’m proud to be a part of such a group.
I enjoyed the TCEA conference all over again when I watched your video. Thanks for putting our week in picture form.
