This is for the truly adventurous with lots of time to spare for creating the most wonderful lessons….
Animoto is a new mashup tool that lets you create a video from your images and music. The service overall could be likened to a slide show creator, but what animoto has done is incorporate a patent-pending artificial intelligence technology to offer something a bit more unique. Mimicking tools that are used by professional directors and editors, Animoto will consider the images and music that you’ve submitted for the creation of a video ‘mashup’. The end result will be more like a movie trailer than a regular slideshow. Others in this realm include Photobucket, Eyespot, which has recently launched a media platform for advertisers, and Fliptrack.This Web 2.0 application is a great tool for collaborative learning through which the students (and teacher) could make their own movie clips suitable to their learning and study. This could be a great exercise in class or even a large assignment they could take home where together students are to research a topic and make a movie in its regard.
