Teaching with Technology

I have to say I love the work of Animoto.  I wanted to put together a presentation for the end of the Leavers Assembly that would tug at the old heart strings and I think that this will do it.   Really easy to sort out once you’ve registered.   Thanks also to ‘the guys’ for sorting me out with the educators account so quickly.

Our year 4 children have been working on adverts for different subjects at school.   They’ve used Animoto’s free 30sec option.   Here’s the music result.

Got this idea from Mark Warner works really well as a quick project.   I’m going to use audacity to get the children to record their own poems over the top of a track and then publish it using that.

Tip: take the photos at low res to speed upload.

Found on the Animoto website that you can get free access to full length movies if you send them an e-mail and keep them updated.   I just got the code to let 140 children use it.

Seems worth it!
