BP15-2009103-Web 2.0 Animoto.com

Animoto.com
This site provides a free video-editing tool. Unlike Pixorial.com, it also take photos into a video format. You can music from their list and add it to your video.  It has a lot more auto features than Pixorial but it costs more money. It only costs $30 a year for unlimited length of video. Otherwise it allows only 30 second video length.

This is the video I created using photos. It took me less than five minutes to make one. This can be used for short presentations with students art works. In my AP studio art class I can ask students upload their class projects and make them into a 30 second video clip. This can be their final project of the course with all their class projects. Students can upload the file into their iPod, You Tube, blogs and Facebook. They can instantly create a fancy presentation. Video transition is automatic so all of the students will have the similar format. If students want to create a longer clip, it is optional to pay for the unlimited use. This can be a great reflection and assessment tool.
This also can be a great tool for series of short clips into a longer story even without paying for it. I can't wait till I introduce this to my Design Studio class students next semester when we move our classroom into a computer lab.
