Educational value of Animoto

Whether you are looking to create an anchor video to activate students' prior knowledge about an upcoming topic or you are looking for a new, creative way to give student choice in answering essential questions, Animoto is a Web 2.0 tool that is fun and easy to use. Animoto uses pictures, video, texts, combined with music to create a short video that can capture everything from events and facts to emotion and experiences. This tool has the ability to add depth to a classroom assignment through the integration of creativity and technology.  Here is my first Animoto entitled Survivors.  It will serve as both a "grabber" to a new Webquest unit as well as a model of an assignment the students will need to complete to begin to answer the Webquest essential question.
