Animoto- Faces of Peru

November 25, 2008 Culture, Digital Images, Digital Storytelling, Global Learning, Tools No Comments

There are so many website out there… So many tools… so many NEW tools to discover and try out… Sometimes one can forget the “good old” ones. :)

I have not used Animoto in a while. I should, since it is one of the GREAT companies that gives us educators a break, meaning a free account for us and our students. This educator account allows you to create Those kind of companies deserve to be promoted, talked about, shown off and recommended whenever and where ever we can.

Add Animoto to your Digital Storytelling Kit

I wanted to highlight some of my favorite photos I took from Peru. They were already uploaded to my Flickr account. In a flash, they were imported into Animoto, added a song, saved and grabbed the code to embed the video here.
