__** Publish student work password protected websites, blogs and wikis. **__ In this example a student who was inspired by the __//Reeces Pieces Counting// Book__, created his own version with his beloved John Deere tractors and Cheerios. Making an Animoto became a way to share his work with the classroom and the link was likely shared with friends and relatives as well.

__** Collaborate on classroom projects and publish th **____** e results. **__ I n this example the class worked in groups to build sight words out of magnetic letter tiles. As each of our 40 sight words was completed, the word was added to the classroom white board and then, crossed off the master list of words. When all the words were completed, students took a picture of the word. The file of words was uploaded to Animoto, a style was chosen, music selected and suddenly our class project was preserved and available to use as a fun, multimedia resource for learning.

__** Recap Field Trips and other special classroom events to share with classroom friends. **__ In this example the pictures that we took of a field trip became a reflection of learning. While viewing each picture, students brainstormed what they learned from our guide in order to provide the text. Some pictures were edited others were shifted around in order for this journal of our field trip to make sense. The video was then shared with the families along with our thanks to the PSO for providing us with these enrichment opportunities.

Note: There are only a few ideas of how you can use Animoto in your classroom. Do you have some other idea to share?Please post them on our discussion board by clicking on the comment bubble in the upper right hand corner of this wiki. ||

 * === Discussion: Feedback === || I, Joanne, would suggest keeping this wiki in classic mode and use discussion bubbles above to get feedback from your audience...an example is on the Template page. Unless you would like to use the Team option for your workshop, which in that case the wiki will need to change to the Classroom mode with discussion at the bottom of pages.

You can start to add information to your page anyway as changing modes does not alter information.

Good luck and let me know when your page is complete! ||
