A training video for the Smart Board

This website provides free training on the Smart Board for Teachers/Educators.

Assignment, Module 3 - Animoto.com is a fast, free, easy-to-use, video production site.  Users can turn their digital photos, video clips, and music into well-orchestrated movie presentations.  It is trendy, fast-paced, and geared toward the young, digital natives that thrive on personally-produced content.  Animoto encourages creative applications of learning.

Description: Video slideshow creator using words and audio and graphics Why better: Slideshows can align with Mayer's(2001) principles. Downloadable and embeddable.

Animoto is designed to allow its users to upload captions and images in order to create vivid videos set to music. Animoto videos are what I like to consider, "smart videos." They analyze the video, feel the music, and then customize the video, allowing users to share and publish their unique video to any webpage. Animoto videos are a creative and fun way to introduce a topic of study, introduce vocabulary, or to teach a short lesson with. Animoto is free to use after making an account, but unless a membership is purchased with Animoto, the videos that you make will be no longer than 30 seconds in length. I have used it with my presentations, after purchasing a membership, and participants of the presentation were engaged and excited about what they saw and learned. It makes learning more interesting. Animoto is better than most other video production sites as it offers its users a variety of professionally looking templates to add your photos, text, and audio to, whereas other sites are limited on their templates to basic features.

I've decided to work on a professional development session to help teachers effectively implement SMART Notebook and the Interactive whiteboard in the classroom.

This video shows how you can use GoAnimate to teach something or give instructions on something. The possibilities with GoAnimate are endless.

This brief tutorial explains the ease of use of the SMARTBoard, although the participants in this workshop are familiar with the SMARTboard and it's use, they may need a quick refresher and it may show some shortcuts or features that they have not been utilizing. I found this site to be easy to access and the way the information was presented was interesting and engaging to the learners.
