Animoto (available on the web or as an Android app) gives teachers even in the youngest grades the ability to introduce digital storytelling into their classrooms. According to Discovery Education, "Animoto is one of the marvels of Web 2.0. It is a wonderful initiative and a true benefit for teachers and students." Animoto allows users to create stunning cinematic slideshows using photos, text, animations, video clips, and audio for free (up to 30 seconds).Mrs. Miller's first grade class used their KUNO device to take photos of areas around their classroom. They then made presentations including simple sentences to introduce viewers to some of their favorite places around their room. Check out the photos below taken as they were editing their videos. Also click on the Animoto presentation to see a sample video.
