Animoto
Has any one used the free version of Animoto. When I saw it immediately I thought I would be a great way for student to make up flash cards for new words. Any thoughts?MackenzieSee More

Mac, As I mentioned on this discussion in April--kids like it the first time but didn't want to go back. I think that is the case with a lot of the Web 2.0 tools.

So, I had my students use it a few times. They enjoyed it I think. When I asked them if they viewed the shorts later they said not really. It is pretty easy to use, but takes too much time to create for what you get, I think. However you should…

I think Animoto is great although I tend to use other programmes but colleagues of mine have made good use of it. Have you used Vuvox?

It's a great way of creating interactive presentations that can really capture…

That is a great idea. You know there is a free educator's version that allows for full length videos. I could really see an animoto with vocab and images working together but the images are randomized (I think). If they are not used…
Mackenzie Bristow replied to Maura Smith's discussion 'What do you think of Culips ESL Podcast?'
I really like the look of the page. I think the podcasts are a little scripted for my taste, but I think that they are perfect for a number of learners. So far the ultimate podcast page that I have used for my langauge learning is notesinspanish. I…

You can sign up for a free education account which lets you get the long version and allows your students to sign up too- I use it in science for vocab by giving each student a different word and then have them find pictures and the definition of…

The free version only has a few slides--you might email the 'guys at Animoto" to see if they will give you a free long version. My kids liked it the first time, but it doesn't have staying power. IMO, more fluff.

I just tried to play around with it a little. You can make free videos that are 30 seconds long. The only downside is that it does take some time to make...you have to have the photos and the text you want and the computer takes some time to make…

I'm interested in hearing more about Animoto. I know of it's name, but would love to hear how people are using it. I just haven't had time to investigate it myself.

Mackenzie,
Welcome and any effort to "get the message" out there, is welcomed. Lots of stimulating stuff here and there and everywhere online in SNing. We've been one of the forerunners in 2nd language online learning and take a look…
Web 2.0 and ESL
Hello all, I have recently fallen in love with web 2.0 and started a web 2.0 site of my own on wetpaint http://esltwopointoresources.wetpaint.com/ were I have made pages for some of the stuff I am doing. You have to become a member to view it, but you can leave if you are not interested. However, I also want to participate in this board. Our department is not using web 2.0 materials yet, but I am planning a large launch for the fall. For…See More

- HI Mackenzie Thanks for the response comparing NYC and Korea. I would love to take you where I live on a farm, in SW Victoria, Australia. Life is really slow here. I laughed when I thought of the comparisons.

With your interest in Web 2.0 Tools, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
