“In addition to the written entries, many blog
pages display photos and videos. Most blogs also provide a
means by which readers can write and leave comments after each blog entry. The blogger can, in turn,
reply to those comments and thereby
create an online discussion.
Some bloggers join together to
form communities” (Jones)

Animoto is……a web application that automatically generates
professionally produced videos using their own patent-pending technology and high-end motion design. Each video is a fully
customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced on a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the
visual energy of a music video and
the emotional impact of a movie trailer. (About Animoto)
Tips & Suggestions
Show examples of other Booktalks before having students do their own. Use my class or Ms. Monson’s 5th Grade Blog
http://pettuselemmonson.blogspot.com for instance.
Have parents sign a permission slip for their students to have their own Animoto account. Otherwise sign them in under your account.
Too many students using the same account at the same time will result in mixed videos. Have only a few working simultaneously.
Have students “storyboard” their Booktalk on paper/PowerPoint/etc. before creating it so they have an idea of what kind of images they want to find and what they want to say.
Stay current with monitoring comments and viewing the blog as a class. Nothing is worse than an “old” blog.
Get feedback. Is this working? Are your students more interested now in reading and writing and sharing?
