QR codes would be a really fun way to indroduce a new topic. For example, I could use QR codes to introduce questions and answers and students would need to match them. Or they could be topics for discussion - students choose a QR code and follow the link to their topic. Really a way to randomly assign topics and a fun way for students to discover them. Could also be a fun "treasure hunt" way to find answers to an in-class assignment.
Students could use it to introduce questions at the end of a presentation, or to introduce the actual topics of the presentation. Classmates choose QR codes and follow the links, and that is what is presented. Might put things in a random order, but would sure make those boring presentations more exciting.

Animoto Ideas
This is my first blog post ever!!!
Animoto would be a great tool in the classroom. I can see applications in both my Music and Spanish content areas.
In Spanish - Students could use animoto to create a video which shows the different situations in which preterite vs. imperfect tense could be used - This would be an exciting way for them to try to differentiate. It would also work for por vs. para, or even conjugations.
It would also be a fun way to present a short culture project.
In music, students could use is at part of a project on their favorite choir piece of the year. Why it was their favorite? composer? style? hardest part? etc. A really fun way to get them thinking, and much more fun presentations to watch than "old school" oral presentations.
I could use it to present a new piece of music to a choir class using the same question as above and have the new piece playing in the background.
