Blog Post #3-Animoto

Authoring Multimedia

Animoto was a fun and simple way to create a video message. I was able to utilize the "Focus Question" from my 5th Grade ELA curriculum and create a video that inspires kids to really ponder "Why should we care about garbage?" Animoto could be used in the classroom in a variety of ways. 

• introduce ourselves to the rest of the class

• document special events in the classroom

• create videos on places in Nebraska (Nebraska Studies) 

• create videos as a way to review content

• create a scavenger hunt

• create book trailers

•  research a famous Nebraskan and create a video

I look forward to introducing my 4th-5th grade students to this video creating platform!!!

The possibilities are nearly endless. I think my 4th and 5th graders would really enjoy the opportunity to work with Animoto.
