Last week I posted a Top 10 List of Web 2.0 tools. A couple of the tools, I had not played with before. Animoto.com was one of them. Well, I'm in love with this tool! Here are my reasons why:
Too easy to use!
Perfect tool for digital picture projects
Has an educator's version!
Level of effort hardly reflects the sophisticated result.
I have applied for my educator's site on animoto. They take a couple of days to respond/review. But, in the mean time, I played with the regular version. This is a 30 second video. You can create 30 second videos or full length (haven't tried full length yet). Animto walks you through the process - it really is quite easy. Frist, I grabbed some pictures that looked like they had to do with the Eighth Floor. Second, I choose music that they provided. You can supply your own if you want, but they have a pretty good collection. Finally, I hit finalize and waited a few minutes for this:
I can't wait to get into the educator's version. If all goes well, I am going to incorporate this tool into the Digital Picture Projects class.
If you do one, share it!
