Animoto is a web 2.0 tool that allows students to create videos. Through these videos, students are able to use text, puctures, and music to emphaise their projects. Animoto is avaible on virtually all web browsers, and on many mobile devices.
It helps to eliminate barriers for learning for many students that need an extra medium to be able to communicate, since text is not needed. Thus it can be helpful in english classes where many students, especially those with english as a second language, can find their voice.
The age limit for animoto is 13 plus.There are provisions granted for schools to generate accounts for users under the age of 13 provided that they comply with the terms of the agreement and that no personally identifiable information is collected.
