Using Animoto this week was a great experience. Making a short 30 second video is sometimes
just enough time to get a point across in a concise manner. This week’s topic was on copyright and finding
methods of downloading material from approved sources. Not all original creators allow others to use
their work for their own purposes.
Therefore it is important to research whether or not the source has
provided approval before using it.
In terms of using Animoto for educational purposes I do not
think that I would be able to use this.
I see this program as more of a tool for personal use. This is perfect for sending out a quick snap
shot of a trip or event to friends and family.
As for the other creative tools I did a little bit of
research on them. Prezi I have used
before seeing it in this week’s lesson and I have a hard time with it. I need to spend more time with this tool in
order to make sure I fully understand how to make an effective
presentation. I have seen others use
this tool and it can either be created magnificently or poorly. It all depends on if the creator knows how
the program works. PowToon is another
tool that I have started to see more and more in the classroom setting. Prezi causes many in the audience to be left
dizzy as the information is flying across the screen. However PowToon provides another alternative
to presenting information through the use of animation.
