Hat Day Animoto

Some of our memories captured in Animoto style :)

Field Trip Animoto

Here's another Animoto. This one is from our field trip from Friday to Flander's Nature Center :)


 

Animoto, Take Two

So after signing up for a new Animoto account, downloading a new browser (google chrome) because I kept getting an error code for 3 days straight, I was finally able to upload my Science-Plant Unit Animoto. This is def a great tool to help my students learn new vocabulary for upcoming units. I was sure to use real pictures that displayed each vocabulary word. I've seen the other Animotos that students created in this class and I know I will def be using them in my classroom because they came out so great. Vocabulary is what many students struggle with. Animoto is just one tool that will motivate and help students connect new words to something they have already seen/known before. Enjoy! I will be using this video as soon as I am back in school with my students for our current plant unit!

Animoto

I explored a site called Animoto. What a great tool to use your photographs and videos! Currently my students are studying life cycles of plants in science. I created this animoto for my students. They just started planting their Zinnia flower seeds in the classroom. I thought this would be a great video for the students to get an overview of what's to come while their seeds grow into a plant. Then I was thinking that I would like them to create their own animotos of their flowering plant . Animotos are fun and simple. I can definitely see the students being interested in the project! Animotos can be used to introduce a topic or use it as a wrap up to a lesson. Students can create their own to show their own learnings instead of a traditional pencil and paper assessment. I've seen animotos that can be used in small groups to help reteach students letter sounds and vowel sounds. We have digital learners. We have to create learning experiences around their learning styles.
