I decided to make my first Animoto today! I wanted to test it out, and make one all about me. I almost didn't though. I hate writing/making stuff about me. It's so hard, and I never know what to say! Once thought about what I wanted to say, and where I wanted the Animoto to go, the process became easier. By "the process," I don't mean the physical making of the Animoto. The website was so easy to use! (Which I wasn't expecting, if truth be told. I was having flahbacks to the last time I made a video with Windows when I was making my teaching portfolio. Nightmare!) By "the process," I mean chossing the photos and writing the text/captions to go along with the video. It was actually kind-of fun to make! I think it's superb, if I do say so myself...
Nice job with your Animoto. I agree, once you get started, it is easy to do. I am excited to mess around with different ideas to use with my kids. We are starting a unit in math on shapes, and I think that a vocab lesson on the shapes might work.
ReplyDeleteI also learned that we have a lot in common!
I did not think to do a "All About Me" animoto! Good job, Bryan. You seem to have the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great idea! This would be a really fun way to introduce yourself to your class at the beginning of the year. It would also be a great project to involve older students in at the beginning of the year to introduce themselves.
ReplyDeleteNice! You have given me hope because I am scared to death to tackle the Animoto. I love that it is about yourself and think it is important for students to know who their teacher is. Also, I love your profile picture. Did you draw that yourself?
