Animoto Project

I have to admit that I did not know what Animoto was when I first read the directions for the assignment. I was nervous about it, but it ended up being pretty simple and even fun. I loved seeing how my video turned out, and putting the music with it really added the perfect touch. I thought the music and images together set the perfect tone for the topic. I will definitely be using this program again for other topics I teach!

I used Picnik for editing and fixing the lighting on a few photos in the presentation. I also used text on the picture of Buzz Aldrin and stickers on that picture as well as the picture of JFK. I thought the Picnik site was pretty neat. I can see me using it on presentations and even outside of the classroom, like on pictures of my family! I learned quite a bit from this assignment and thought it was very worthwhile.
