Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
I created the above video using animoto.com. The site was extremely user friendly. You can upload your own videos, pictures, and music or you may also choose from their library. Making these videos is very easy to do, yet they are highly engaging and effective.
I made my video on rural, urban, and suburban areas (grade level 2-3). Students would be able to watch this video and categorize the pictures as rural, urban, or suburban. These videos engage students visually, and acoustically. For a culminating project idea, students could create their own video.
My favorite part about creating videos is that it can be used for any subject, with any grade level and it really makes students put their own personalized touch on the topic. Digital stories go far beyond the pages of a textbook.
Teachers in the 21st century should take full advantage of the free, easy to use resources that their digitalized students respond and relate to best. Know the audience you are teaching to and learning outcomes will increase.
