Yesterday I posted information and a video I made using Animoto. Here's a longer video that highlights Spring Branch ISD that I created this evening. (This took about 30 minutes to create, but the compilation process done by Animoto took quite a while).
I am blown away by the marketing implications for this incredibly easy to use technology.
Let me know what you think.
The Animoto program seems to have a lot of possibilities. I am interested in how it compares to the digital story telling that the Instructional Technology department is using. Am eager to learn how to do it and learn more about its potential.

Mike,
I could see this on the front page of the district's website and I could imagine similar animations on the websites of each of the schools in your district!
Even better, given the ease of use of Animoto, what if each school invited students to create an animation highlighting some of the great things going on at their own campus? Each school could run a contest for the best animation (monthly or each semester) then highlight the winning animation on their website. Students get engaged in a real project (marketing) and the school ends up with a cool new marketing tool to share with parents and the community.
