"This was one of the best presentations at the #140conf! The reason it resonated with everyone there is not only because of Chris' passion and drive, but because the points he brings up are right on target! Our education system is so badly broken and our kids are not getting the education they deserve. They are also not given the tools they need to make it out in the real world. Our schools are stuck in the dark ages, while we are living in a time of great enlightenment. Watch this video! Get inspired! Create change! "
For your summertime entertainment, but also to encourage your thinking on the role of creativity in our classrooms. Can tools such as Animoto, Aviary, BigHugeLabs, xtranormal, etc., be justified as a means to master what will be on the test, while also fostering creativity?
xtranormal's mission is to bring movie-making to the people. Everyone watches movies and we believe everyone can make movies. Movie-making, short and long, online and on-screen, private and public, will be the most important communications process of the 21st century.

For those looking for music for their Animoto (or any other multimedia) productions - beyond what Animoto offers - this is a great site provding free, legal downloadable music.
