Animoto is an excellent way to upload and present your pictures. It was very easy to create the video you see here. I simply created an account, uploaded ten pictures off my harddrive, added some music from their collection and voila! A slickly produced video complete with music and really nice transitions.
Can this be used in a classroom?? I am not so sure. I guess I am just old-fashioned. Don't get me wrong, the Animoto video is very slick and stylish. I think, however, that it would be a distraction in the classroom - students would probably focus on the music and the transitions more than the content.
On the other hand, Animoto would probably be a great way to present pictures from class activities. Say, for example, you had pictures from field day. You could quickly upload the pictures to Animoto, add some school music and upload them to a blogpage. Students and parents could then enjoy those pictures over and over again. The same process could be used for field trips, homecoming activities, graduation, yearbooks - whatever.
What do you think? Will you be using Animoto in your classroom? Or do you think its use is more recreational?
