Animoto in Education: Todd Anderson’s Trailer

Cross-posted on Changing Connections

Animoto is a great classroom resource.  I’ve been using it with my students for a year, and as part of my Grade 10 final exam, I asked students to make a trailer for The Secret Life of Bees, a fourth quarter novel they read and blogged. Todd Anderson‘s trailer gives you a great example of how the tool can be integrated in curriculm.  For more examples of Animoto in Education, click here.

Why do I like Animoto?  It lets you produce your own MTV-style video (founders include former producers at MTV, Comedy Central & ABC)with, professional end results.  In beta for the last year, users could create 30 second videos only, or upgrade to the full-length version for a fee.  In August, Animoto in Education was launched, and now teachers and students can use the full-length produce free.  If you want to find out how, check out this posting by cliotech on the Pennsylvania Discovery Educator Network blog (a great place for resources for students and teachers).
