Using Animoto

Animoto is an easy to use video making on-line tool. Although, the free version is very limited as it only allows a 30 sec video length, it could useful to add some animation and more creative for class lessons. I do not think teachers have problem learning how to use Animoto for their lessons. It is very easy to use and has many options to make creative works with different and fun backgrounds, songs, and designs. Like first time experience using new things, it takes some time to explore and identify what tools are available, and what kind of things we can create or what we are looking for. The only thing it was more challenging to me, it was when finding the option to share and upload because we are using the free version so we cannot download videos to our computers only by YouTube or any other on-line video storage-sharing application. We can use social networks also to share. Thus, we have to link our Animoto account with our social network accounts and probably, this could be a limitation for some teachers that they do not have social networking account or that it is restricted use at their schools.
