My Animoto Video

My Animoto Video


Animoto has great potential for the classroom.  The thing I find most intriguing about their videos is their ability to set the mood of a topic.  I great video can not only educate in the tradition form but also elicit an emotional response that a lecture alone can’t do.  The pictures and the music can make you feel sad, excited, peaceful or thoughtful providing an almost visceral experience.

  1. Enjoyed your project. Indeed a video can elicit feelings and emotions depending upon which elements are included. The title slides help guide us and the visuals provide a peek into the culture of Saudi Arabia. The upbeat and calm music you chose sets a nice tone for the experience. I keep thinking how fun it would be for your students to Skype and share with students here. There is so much to learn from one another.
