Animoto was really really easy to use. I didn't think I was going to like making a video, because I am probably the least creative person you will ever meet, but it was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. It literally only took me 5 minutes. I picked a theme from the list and then downloaded my 12 pictures straight from my Facebook page (which is where I store all of my pictures), picked a song from my iTunes library, started the song in the middle, and then clicked save and it made the video for me. Easy as pie!
I made this video as a collage of me and my boyfriend. We have been dating for three years, and I just love him more everyday. He is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him.
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
This website could be a valuable resource for a classroom. If students were doing a presentation, instead of making a powerpoint, they could find interesting pictures that related to their subject and make a video. This would eliminate the need for text, thus eliminating the student reading directly from the powerpoint which makes for a very boring presentation. Using Animoto would give students the chance to be a little more creative and actually have to plan their presentation to go along with the video. This was a fun assignment, and I know students would enjoy making their own videos and not even realize they were learning.
