I've made just one video so far, but my school was so impressed that they put it on their homepage: http://www.oswego308.org/schools/bednarcik/ Now they want me to make one for each team and club so they can post new ones throughout the year. Thanks again!! I love it!! I cannot thank you enough for turning me on to Animoto. I’ve made just one video so far,

You already know about Voicethread.com, right? The PPT technique works great with that service too.

I think I will experiment with that (saving PPT slides and inserting them) as a way to create a preview / overview of a workshop presentation, similar to what you and Silvia did for your K12 online teaser.

Glad you liked Animoto. We rocked out in my Elementary Computer Lab this week with my "What I did for summer vacation" Animoto: http://animoto.com/play/1f8b10fdc18b9aa9248b25bc080cac11 The kids LOVED it, and though I should really redo it (some of the transitions could be better, I'm still learning) it came out pretty well. Handy tip: use PowerPoint to create text titles slides (just use a smaller font than I did) and save them as .JPGs, upload to Flickr, and incorporate them into the show. Works great! -kj- Hey Wes!

Lets you narrate over images, point, draw, collage, etc. Instantly ready to play, cast, send as attachment, send as link, embed in blog. Takes about 2 minutes to learn.

I like that song too. I agree that we should often try out technologies with our personal hobbies and interests... then we can better see connections to teaching and learning. Great work Ashton!

Too Cool. Of course, I always try out technology first with my passion which is ranching & horses! Then I will incorporate it into my video conferencing blog for the District. http://animoto.com/play/c2cf658b4eac6f944f4497ff6345e6d8 Thanks for sharing Animoto! Too Cool.

The OK video would be perfect for the centennial celebration. You need to submit that somewhere! Have you seen the official video - it's pretty awesome too. After seeing Animoto listed on twitter one night, I shared it with everyone at work. A friend wrote them and said that they will be making it be able to incorporate within Powerpoint within the near future. Oh, and by the way, you've been tagged - see instructions at http://mstina.wordpress.com/2007/09/12/ive-been-tagged-by-durff/ Tina Hi Wes - awesome!

I was amazed how fast it was as well. My 9 year old couldn't believe it either when I showed him these movies today after school! That’s great Maria! I was amazed how fast it was as well.

After watching your examples, I just had to try it for myself. It took no time at all to create my short video and post it to my classroom blog. I may have to spend the money for the full version - 30 seconds is way too short! Thanks Maria Hello Wes,
