animoto

I felt very much at home playing with Animoto. It that whole thing about being having fun with picutres I have taken. I definitely plan on doing more with Animoto in the future. It was so easy. I did get a bit caught up in selecting the "right" music. It was worth it when I viewed the results. Kerpoof looked like alot of fun as well, but was going to take more creative brain power than I had at the moment. Kerpoof will definitely be fun to use with the kids. I could really see Kerpoof bringing some of their creativity to the surface, and giving the kids a vehicle to show what they are capable of. This tool could could also be a motivator for those students that may be a bit tentative. The entire aspect of digital storytelling has the potential to really give some options to some kids that we haven't tapped into yet because they are not cofident with their skill to tell or write stories (or much of anything). I look forward to seeing what our kids can do (and our teachers too).
