I did it!
I have to say it is extremely exciting to me that I actually created an Animoto. My students are starting research projects on the changing earth. The whole idea of the video was to get them started thinking about their topics. I decided to display questions regarding things such as how landforms are made, what the earth is made of, the layers of the earth, and how the continents have shifted. I gathered pictures that I thought would interest my students to go with each topic. I left each question open ended because the idea is to peak their interest to find answers for themselves. At the end of the video I brought up questions for students to start thinking how they will find the answers and what they will do to present the information to the class. I will show the video to them tomorrow and let you know how it goes!

Your Animoto is amazing!! My class is also studying the changing Earth, so I will also show this to my class! I think it will really peak the students' interest and give them some great ideas for research topics.
ReplyDeleteNice job with your Animoto! The pictures that you found were beautiful. I am finding that his the hardest part for me. I am being very picky about the pictures that I use! I feel very relaxed after watching your animoto too!
ReplyDeleteGreat video. I like that it goes slowly and the music does not have lyrics. It will be easier for your students to concentrate on the visuals and text. There will be plenty to discuss. You can show the video once through and then show it again with pausing at places for discussion. The photos are breath-taking.
