Animoto: Create a Video in Moments

Students can apply for a free accounts to create 30 second videos.  This does not require email verification.  Students can email the link to the teacher or can embed the video in a Blogger.  Students can download the video file to share on MBC.  As a teacher, you could also share these videos on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or through email.

For iPad use, Animoto requires the app.  After the video is created in the app, it can be saved to the camera roll for transfer to other places (MBC).

See some examples that I have embedded below:
