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.
