Animoto: From Animoto's about page: "At Animoto, we believe that video is the most powerful way to communicate what you care most deeply about — whether that’s your catering business, your dog Fluffy, or penguin conservation in Antarctica. That’s why we spend an inordinate amount of brainpower to build products that make it easy, fun, and cost-effective for anyone to create professional videos on a computer or mobile device. At the end of the day, we’re all about helping people share their stories with the world through video."
Animoto is an easy to use, drag 'n drop video creation website. You drag 'n drop a sequence of images, pick the music, and Animoto does the rest – the transitions, the flow of the video. It is a pay for service, but most teachers don't know that they can get the service for free through their classroom link. Click the image or link above to go there.
