Educational Value of Animoto

Animoto is awesome!! Not only are you able to create a photo collage that goes with a topic, but you can also use music to enhance the video! I think this application would be great for students because it gives them another way to show what they know. Using this application teachers could give students a topic and work out how to use Animoto with them to create a video that showcases understanding. I would have students working in groups to create an Animoto video, where they have to work together to compile pictures for that topic and music that enhances the video. Here is my video about the WebQuest that I am currently in the process of creating. This WebQuest involves the grocery store setting. I will help students learn through experience by using the grocery store as a means to teach students adding, subtracting, reading, and writing skills through experience with a setting that should be familiar to them. I hope you enjoy!! Also, please tell me what you think :)
