My animoto

Today I uploaded images and music to create a video in animoto.


Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

We used collaborative learning to create a video with pictures and sound. The video was about hand held learning.  We used wordle to create the title screen then used image chef to create several word mosaics to create slides about mobiles. The word mosiacs are not the best as the pictures would be clearer if they had a larger amount of words. The image chef site is also not suitable for children as it has links to dating sites on it.

You could use the word mosaics to create the names of your class groups or a sign on the door of all your pupils.

The animoto site is good for creating quick movies as it does the linking between static images for you and also adds a patterned background making it look very professional. We only used the quick 30 sec free demo. This would be good for displaying pictures of a class trip or photos for a presentation.

To add music we experimented with Dance ejay 2005. This product is specifically designed for school and therefore has large buttons, interactive colours easy layout and instant playback. This is an excellent product for children who like music but struggle to read notes or follow it on paper.

  1. You have shown you can create an animated slideshow but you need to really provide the reader with a little more information - links to the tools you used.
