ANIMOTO
End Product: Video Cost: An educational account is free. (Note that a request for an education account may take a week or more to come through.) Free non-education accounts are limited to 30 seconds. Location: animoto.com Difficulty: Medium
Pay: Free Educational Account. Students Required to Create an Account: Yes Web Based: Yes Private Option: Yes FINAL COMMENTS: I have been frustrated by the wait for an educational account. Codes for student use expire as does an educational account. Finalizing a project can take a long, long time. Transitions, final format is randomized by the Animoto program, not by the creator. Difficulty: Easy
Pay: No Students Required to Create an Account: To build a wall, yes. To post to a wall, no. Web Based: Yes Private Option: Yes FINAL COMMENTS: After the total pain of creating a wall, it works smoothly. It may be difficult to come up with a good use for it, but a few teachers here use it successfully. |
