Thing # 21 Animoto

Liv


Making an Animoto video was fun and easy. I took a bunch of old pictures of Olivia that I had on my desktop computer and put them into Flikr after realizing that my hard drive is almost to maximum capacity with all of the photos I have taken. Taking them directly off of the pc resulted in failure after downloading the 6th picture. It was much easier to upload them to Flikr, then send them to Animoto. 

I love to do anything with photography. I am actually lamenting the fact that I have been running all day because, despite the rain, the autumn colors are perfect today and I should be trying to capture them. 

It would be fun to take pictures of class projects and make slideshows with them. Because this is something that is so easily shared, it would be intrinsically reinforcing for the students to create and show their families what they have done. My stuff video has miscellaneous photos from home... the horses, the creek, my fat cat Calista Rae, and the goats. I like the presentation on this one because it rains pictures down like rose petals. This would be something that I will have fun playing with in the future--obviously! 
Animoto is a pretty cool way to organize photos and present them thematically!
