Animoto is a video production tool that allows still photos, videos, and music to be seamlessly and simply integrated. Animoto offers free rendering of a 30-second production using your digital media and allowing you to select from a variety of music. Time for longer productions is available for purchase. All productions can be exported to social media sites personal or business websites, or personal storage.

Pedagogical Application

In the classroom, Animoto can be used in a variety of ways. Some ideas include the following:

  • Digital scrapbook - Students create a digital scrapbook of a special event or field trip.
  • Oral Presentation - Students record an assigned oral presentation and add it as "music" to an Animoto production that contains the desired images. This is a great way to manage oral presentations in online environments.
  • Science Fair Promo - Students create a production giving background information, project construction photos or video, and the research questions of their science fair project. The production is set to loop throughout the science fair creating visual interest and drawing visitors into the project.  
  • New Product Advertisement - Students invent a new product (real or fictitious) and create a production that serves as the key component of the advertising campaign for the product.
