Animoto is a great tool to use in a classroom. The program allows teachers or students to create short (or longer if you pay) videos. The program can be used to create short commercials that advertise a topic or argue an opinion. Animoto can also be used as a vocabulary strategy, which can be seen in my sample below. Within a topic, each student (or groups) can be assigned a vocabulary word. In the 30 second video they should be able to capture the essence of their vocabulary word. They can define the word and give real world applications of the word. All videos can then be posted to a common blog where the entire class can view them to learn or review the unit vocabulary.
