Animoto

My animoto video is documenting my fabulous trip to Alabama. Enjoy!



Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.


Animoto is an internet program that is free for a trial online. It is an extremely creative and fun resource to have and use in every profession! People can use animoto as a way of "digital storytelling." From the slideshow above it is safe to say that digital storytelling was used in my animoto slideshow. It is an ideal program to use if you are a frequent blogger and want to document a large number of pictures or maybe a trip. For example the video above is create from my trip to Alabama for the University of Florida/ University of Alabama trip. I feel like Animoto would really come in handy with the Community Service events. Assuming I get hired by a professional football team, they would like to document all of there community service efforts and I would be able to put together videos for each event. Add them to the website and its the ideally great publicity. Aside from my profession, education would be another profession that animoto could be frequently used in. It doesn't matter how old or educated the student is, animoto is a simple and fast way to create something with meaning and tell a digital story. There are other websites similar to animoto which are easily accesible.


VoiceThread is also another website which is frequently used in the classrooms.
A Voice Thread is a collaborative multimedia slide show that consists of images documents and videos. Voice Thread allows the user to comment in five different ways such as using voice, text, audio, or video. Ed. VoiceThread is a web-based communications network used for students and educators k-12. Students can participate only by being added by an administrator or teacher with a subscription to Ed. VoiceThread. Ed.VoiceThread is appropriate and safe for elementary and secondary students to use. I haven't experimented much with the program but it seems like a great tool that has been used in many classrooms. 
 I cant wait to get into the real world and impress my future employers with all that I have learned within this EME class. Photosnack is another program that complies pictures into slideshows with the option of adding music, graphics, and words. Another take on a very fun concept.
