Presenting... My Animoto Project!

This course has helped me better understand just how powerful and effective technology can be in the classroom. I feel invigorated and excited to introduce my Animotos (and other new skills) to my students.  I love the power of words and images; I find my mind constantly buzzing with ideas when reading what other educators are doing in their classrooms and how I can integrate these ideas into my own classroom.   I see myself continuing using technology as often as possible and hopefullythis will lead to more collaborating grade level partners.  As for my skills in general, I am finding that simply experimenting with the progams presented in class has been most beneficial. I learn by doing and I am getting better every day!  This is a whole new chapter in my teaching career!

My Very First Animoto!

Though this is far from perfect, this is my first attempt at creating an Animoto.  My students were thrilled with this as an introduction to our class novel.  I was nervous to show it because Animoto is so new to me, but they surprisingly asked me to play it several times.  I am excited to continue creating Animoto presentations because my students love it!
