What a fun website! Animoto is a great website that allows you to create free 30 second long videos with your uploaded pictures and music. I didn't find this task hard at all and I enjoyed going back through some of our family photos on my computer. I will probably use Animoto in the future, because of its ease of use. However, after creating my video, I did have some problems with uploading the "embed" code into my blog space. I was able to link my video to my blog with the "blogger" option, but it would not post my video in the blog. I was able to work around this issue by downloading my video to my computer from Animoto's website and then uploading the video to my Blog through the import videos section. My only complaint is that the video is small and I can not resize it when I "download" to my desktop, unless I want to "upgrade" my account with Animoto. This cost money, so I think I'm pretty satisfied with my free video! Other than these small little issues, I did enjoy creating a personalized video with family pictures and music that really meant something to me. Animoto would be a great site for teachers to create short clips, full of pictures of the children engaging in educational activities throughout the year. Parents love to see what their children are actively doing and learning while at school. Capturing that interaction and displaying it in a beautiful way for them would be wonderful.
