Hi guys!
So this week I have created a short 1 minutes slide show
about Copyrighting using this super cool tool called Animoto.
If you have ever used power point well then there you go,
you should have no problem understanding this tool. Like PowerPoint, Animoto
allows you to add images and text about your topic. The only differences are that
Animoto allows you to easily add music, provided by the tool, to make your
slide more interesting and animated! Unlike PowerPoint, Animoto only allows you
to add very short and brief texts; the texts limits you to add no more than 100
characters per slide, which, when you think of it, make the slides more attractive
for the reader to view.
Animato and digital literacy
and responsibility
Animoto is such a great tool for learning to communicate and
exchange your knowledge on a topic in a brief concise manner. Due to its
character limit, you have no way to babble on about a topic. It also allows “full
electronic participation” both from the creator of the slide and from anyone
with access to the internet thus is a very inclusive tool.
Now looking at the process of creating a slide, Animoto is perhaps
one of the best tools I have encountered to date that shows you step by step
how to create a slide, edit a slide, save a slide and upload a slide.
The only problem I have with this tool is that it is not
completely private. Although it allows an option for you to allow comments or
not and allow social sharing by viewers or not, it does not show an option for
keeping you slide private from others. However it might be difficult for anyone
to find your slideshow without any knowledge of its existence.
Aside from that one problem, I find nothing wrong with this
tool. In fact I have a couple of assignment that require me to use videos/slideshows
and I believe I will utilize this tool to its fullest.
That’s all for this post. Have a nice day and please view my
slide below!
