I have been taking two college classes this summer. This post is on my second college class. Today I was asked to learn about and create a video using Animoto. We could create something personal or something school related. We had to have at least 7 slides, music and add one text. It did not take me long to think about what I was going to create. At the beginning of the school year we like to tell the students a little about ourselves. Typically we do a slide presentation. I have been learning all about technology this summer. I just had to make my introduction more exciting for the students. I used Canva to create some posters with information all about myself. I then uploaded those to Animoto and chose some music to go with it. If you have not used Canva, you are missing out! I absolutely love using it.
I really did like using Animoto. It was very easy to create this video. You will see the watermark in the video. I do apologize for that. The only way to get rid of the watermark is to upgrade to a subscription. Which I may do once school gets into session.
I hope you enjoyed my creation and are inspired to create your own.

That was a great video, Scherry! I can see your students will get to know a lot about you through it. I have not made a video with Animoto yet. Do you know if you can upload your own songs or do have to use the ones they provide?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. I really enjoyed making it. I believe the students will like it. As for your question.. Yes you can upload your own songs to use. Plus there is no extra fee or upgrade to do so!
DeleteLovely, Scherry! I particularly liked the quote, 'Never apologize for your excellence'. I see that happen too often.
ReplyDeleteThis is a quote that I was once told early on in my college years. I was very shy and timid in high school and college. A teacher that I did a practicum with once told me this quote. It has been my motto ever since! I tell all of my students this. When they graduate from high school I give them a note reminding of this quote as they move onto there next stage in life.
