Animoto

Author: Jane Bowser

Animoto Project Description

In this project, you will create two Animoto videos.

The first video will be one that you create on your own to serve as a hook for a lesson in the grade and subject you plan to teach.  The second is one that you will create with a partner to demonstrate mastery (like you would want a student to demonstrate) on a lesson in the grade and subject you plan to teach.  The rubric for the videos can be found at the end of the assignment.

Before coming to class on the first day Animoto is listed on the schedule, you should complete the following:

  • Create your Animoto Educator Account
    • Sign up for a FREE Animoto account.
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the page and Click Education.
    • Look very carefully for the Are You a Teacher line and click on Learn More
    • Click Apply Now​
  • ​​Watch the tutorial video and the example video to get an idea of how the program works.
  • Pick an objective for a lesson from the grade and subject you plan to teach and start to think about how you could use Animoto to create a hook and a review for two different lessons.
