My Animoto video - Digital Citizenship



It was a rewarding experience of learning Animoto in this week. I created a short slideshow to introduce the Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship and I think it was a success.
Even the video is only 30 second long, the video was presentable. I enjoy the amount of options that Animoto provided and it allows me to make changes many time. Another point of interest when using Animoto was choosing the licensed audio, I didn’t have to worry about the copyright and it actually saved me a lot of time.
Animoto may seems like an individual show case, but it can really function as a collaborative tool in the classroom.

The 30 second (free) slideshow can be used any time during the lesson, for example..
1.       icebreaking activity at the beginning of the class,  
2.      visual aid of a case study and lead to group discussion
3.      summary slideshow


As a learner, I enjoy exploring and using technology as part of my learning, pictures and sound are engaged and help taking in information and this the key to education.
