Photostory Sharing

After looking through the different sites on Carla's delicious webpage I chose to go with Animoto.So I downloaded pictures onto my computer from our latest class field trip and created a photostory to music from our class field trip to the Lowell Mills. However, since the free Animoto option is for a 30 second video...the 65 pictures I downloaded obviously didn't make the cut. So I decided to also try Windows Movie Maker. I will post both of the photostories. Animoto was very easy and quick to use. However Windows Movie Maker was a lot more involved. It took quite a bit longer but I was able to include as many photos as I chose. I think this is a great way to share pictures taken of kids at field trips or during activities in the classroom not only to show the kids and/or to share with parents. However, I'm not sure this is something that I would use regularly in my lesson planning, at this point.
