I read how to add a song to a blog. It is a nice way to assign a song as homework. For instance, you can ask your students to listen to the song and answer some questions about it.

I also used ANIMOTO to make a video of my honeymoon. It would be a good idea to ask students to make their own videos and share them with their classmates. You can also show them one of your videos and ask them questions about it. Or maybe as a way to model a composition.

Hey Victor,
Really nice ideas! Congratulations! I am so totally mesmerized by all the things you can do. Like even play computer games and then have your students write reports or instructions and so on that I just cannot think of anything and find myself paralized! I was thinking of picture stories in the slide shows to tell about a vacation they had, for example.

Dear Victor,

Thanks for starting this thread! We could share cool ideas for the classroom here, and I've already gave two nice ideas. One little advice to help others. Every time you share links, add the url so people don't lose time looking for it or you lose your time answering them about where to find animoto and other sites.

By the way, I just love animoto! In the beginning of this year, I co-moderated a session on blogging with educators around the globe, and in our intros we added animoto. I guess it gave a nice touch and gave the idea for the ones joining us that the session would be "dynamic"!

Did you know that you can "embed" Animoto on a wiki, a blog, any webpage?

http://animoto.com

Can you imagine then, victor, starting a composition with an animoto created by students? Then, based on their choice of images they'd develop it! Fantastic idea. I think we could start making those dreadful "compositions" into something much more fun. Another idea is to use music as to give the tone to their compositions. How? Using mixwit (http://mixwit.com) . Students create their music tapes and then write their compositions, or the other way around. They write, and then they create their tapes. Ok. I'm getting excited here! More later.

Let me know if you try any of those ideas.
