Fortunately, there are tools to help with the end of year scramble for new and GOOD content, Animoto! Teachers can scour Sites like YouTube or TeacherTube to find already made videos from other teachers to get the point across.
Or, the savvy teacher can show students how simple it is to create a professional looking video with Animoto's Cinematic Artificial Intelligence so students have the opportunity to teach their classmates about:
- the Food Guide Pyramid
- Earthquakes and Volcanoes
- economic differences in Africa
- a challenging Robert Frost poem
- how to complete homework on time
- proper study skills
- how to pay attention better in class
- how to ask questions in class
- the best ways to make an A+
- directions for the upcoming project
- which water fountain doesn't have cooties (ok, maybe not)
But you see the benefits of allowing students to be a part of the learning process instead of a spectator waiting to get in the game. Most students want to be involved and would like the opportunity to 'get their hands dirty' by completing work on their own.
Teachers have the opportunity to step aside and allow students to use tools like Animoto, that do the heavy lifting for you by editing and processing images, text, and music together to make stunning professional looking videos!
One of the best aspects of Animoto is that no two videos are ever the same! If you're not quite satisfied with what comes out, remix it and allow Animoto to create a brand new video. Teachers can instantly remix and refresh older material with a few clicks of the mouse.
Go ahead, try it yourself! You just might become the next video star!
