Nice share Mark. FYI teachers can apply for unlimited videos at http://animoto.com/education. They will get a code that they can pass along to their students.
Definitely. Choose the right template to build your math videos. Add music (background), Animoto does the rest. Sign-up for an Educators account to create Math videos throughout the year.
Neel,
You must sign up for an educator account and they automatically give you an Educator Plus account for 184 days, along with a promo code that you can share with up to 50 other individuals (typically students), after the 184 days it only costs $5.00/month or $30/yr. They also offer a referral program so that you can earn an upgraded account for FREE but each referral has to become a paying subscriber.
could student use free version to make quick videos - you only get 30 seconds for free ... but I think that would work toward being concise and planning ahead
