I had no idea that Animoto existed and I can't believe I just discovered it. It's a good thing that I actually have things to do today/this weekend or else I'd be busy making a billion video montages of my wedding, honeymoon, dog, and every other possible category within the 1000 pictures on my computer. This is so cool and so easy to use. I love that you can add your own soundtrack, text, and highlight specific pictures. I am going to find so many uses for this and my husband is going to be so excited to see our wedding pictures set to our favorite songs (I would have used "God Only Knows" for this video but I don't have it on this computer yet). I can share these with friends and family as well.
I can see lots of applications for this program in my future classroom. Back at midterm the final project for the students completing my webquest was to create a campaign commerical. This tool would be really effective for creating a montage of images for that type of assignment. I could assign students a topic and have them find a specific numer of pictures to create a video to present to the class. They could then explain in written form what each image represented to them about the topic they covered or they could narrate the video as it played. Very neat!
