  4. Web 2.0 ALERT: FlipGrid (https://info.flipgrid.com/) - A Tool for Learning that Incorporates Video
    You can sign up with your class account as a teacher, for free.
    First, let's try this as students: Record between 15-30 seconds of two ideas for video:
    1) as an instructional tool - a video you find or create yourself and
    2) as a means of student creation to show what they know, an idea, or to share about themselves.

  5. Let's make some video and start with a cloud-based tool that is considered a Web 2.0 tool (in the cloud).
    Getting started with ANIMOTO: An online video creation tool - basic with some but not as much control as other tools.
    • See these examples from our colleagues:
    • Create a free personal account with your gmail address: https://animoto.com/

    • Click "Personal Use" and then "Start from Scratch" in the top right corner of the screen

    • Pick a Theme (this can be changed later, if you wish); Landscape aspect ratio, and skip the media upload and the tour (you can watch if you wish but don't have to).

    • Begin an Animoto using your own images and video, those built into Animoto's Stock Collection or search, download, and use some from one of our free sites such as Pixabay https://pixabay.com/ or Pexels http://pexels.com/

      • Upload the images and video using the Media Library: Project tab to the right of the screen.

      • To start your video, add a title by clicking on the existing block at the bottom of the screen and adding text. You can also add an image in the background, if you wish

      • Next, add a block with images, text, and/or video to your video project timeline/storyboard by clicking the + icon at the bottom of the screen. You will have a variety of layouts to choose from and once you make a selection, this will add a block in which you can add images, video, and/or text.

      • Add at least 4 blocks with visuals in addition to your title

      • Now, explore the soundtrack for your video. Suggestion: use the music Animoto offers (see icon to choose at top of screen)

      • ADVANCED ADVENTURERS:
        You may also use one of these sound files from the free site, Incompetech (http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free) Download it by right clicking and saving it to your files area and then uploading into Animoto. This is CC0 music.
        Corncob.mp3 // Flutey Funk.mp3 // Somewhere Sunny.mp3 // Wallpaper.mp3

      • Explore and play with uploading photos, video, uploading your own music *be aware of copyright*, adding captions and other text elements

        • Your final video can be about anything you wish - your choice.

        The following elements are required:

        • A text block at the start of your video with your title
        • At least 4 or more images and/or video (NOTE: images alone are fine, no video is required)
        • Music of your choice
        • Must be between 30 seconds and 2:30 minutes in length

      • Once your video is finished, click the Export button in the top right corner; be patient it may take a little while.

      • Preview it and once you like what you see, copy the link and add it to your Google Site for Web 2.0 #2 tool either embedded or as a clickable link. (Save the profile for later, if you wish - DUE February 24)

    This tutorial walks you through from start to finish with the start from "Scratch" option and shows how to use different text and image/video layouts as well as how to add music.
