Digital Media

This first video I really like. Using Animoto was simple and efficient. It would be a great way to showcase images, but it doesn't allow for text. It's a video about my trip to Australia this summer.
It is in the post titled "Australia."

The second video did not seem to allow for a whole lot of creativity. I do like it better than Animoto though, because I can include text and I think if I could figure out how to adjust the time on each frame it would be much more entertaining for the class. This is about my trip with the Marching Illini. We went to Ireland and England for spring break.

I really like this third video not only because it contains the memories of a fantastic weekend, but because it was easy to create and allowed for a lot of variation. It would be very useful in a math classroom. In fact I think it could be helpful if I was sick and had already made the lesson in voicethread so all the substitute had to do was hit play and keep the class attentive.
