Animoto

== is a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos, each a customized orchestration of your image s and music.

Sign up for an Education Account with Animoto through this [|link]. If you sign up through this link, you will have an all access pass for this school year. This will give you a chance to try it out. If you love it, you can sign up for your own education account and share this great tool with your students in the same way I am sharing with you. Please note that if you do not sign up through this [|link] or you do not request an educators account, your videos will be limited to 30 seconds unless you pay an annual fee.
 * These videos will be published so make sure that you have permission to publish the photos you are using and that you don't use copyrighted music.**

(If you do not have speakers on your computer, you may use headphones. The earbuds used for mp3 players work great. Borrow a pair if you don't have your own.)
