Who would have thought...using personalized videos to help students learn? Genius! With the help of Animoto, it's clear that there are so many new and exciting ways to integrate technology into the classroom. From what I've seen, Animoto is such a great place to start! With the Poetry unit right around the corner, I'm already thinking of ways to use Animoto to help my students learn all there is to know about poetry. But how about the Fairy Tale unit...Animoto will also be a great way to organize all of the elements of Fairy Tales, too!
Great idea to introduce Animoto with poetry month! Students could create their poems and then make an Animoto related to their blog to play in the background as they read their poems during a poetry share.
ReplyDeleteAnimoto would be wonderful in a poetry setting. Also, it has great use as a way to give definitions to words at this young age. There are many Animoto projects I have seen where they expand the meaning of key words from what is currently being read.

I LOVE the idea of introducing fairy tales with Animoto! Imagine how eye-catching those graphics would be, paired with some catchy music...I'm sure your little guys would be super excited!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the idea of using Animoto to introduce a fairy tales unit! There are so many great fairy tale re-imiaginings coming out right now - Cinder, Scarlet, etc - I'm sure you will be able to find tons of great images.
