Animoto is a Web 2.0 Tool that allows it users to create video slide shows using a variety of pictures, text, video clips, and music. After the video is completed, you can embed, share or download it. The tool is accessible on the web, mobile device, or a tablet.

Animoto in Education

Teachers have the option of applying for a free Animoto account for their classroom use. In regards to their students, the ability to create videos with an array of features is a very neat tool.

This could be a great option for students who are more visual learners. This tool gives them the option of conveying their ideas and thoughts through visuals and music rather than strictly text or pen and paper. The combination of video, picture, and music platforms could help students visual learn and convey their ideas better.

Students could potentially use Animoto to create video projects in different classroom settings. For example, they could reenact and video parts of plays, make a weather report video, make a movie trailer, or perhaps use it to make a video for a drama class. The possibilities are endless.
