Day is Done...

So I had my taste in making videos this week.  The animoto was quite fun actually and easy to use.  I could definitely see myself getting an educator account to be able to make longer presentations with this.  This would be great on a school library page to showcase the events in the school. I tried to embed the video here, but either I needed a better account with them or I am just not quite savvy enough yet to.  So the address is the best I could do for now.

I realized that I never got to come back and tell you about the other two video websites I played in.  www.powtoons.com is SO much FUN! I could play on there for awhile.  I will be using this with my children.  THis is an excellent use of making ebooks, or animations, or sharing poetry! I tried to upload it in my google+ account, but it the window wouldn't change, and I never found it, so I will have to play some more with that.  However, I did figure out how to publish it on youtube.com. Maybe I can find it and post a link here.  Until then here is a pic of the final slide, and Ill give you the poem I just made up on the fly to test this site out:

A single candle sits on the sill,
Keeping the night away and the ghostly chill,
Snow begins to fall and the ghost says, "Oh, Nose!
"I can't feel my fingers, and I can't feel my toes!"

The last site I want to talk about is Wideo.  It is similar to PowToons, only you can control the animations in this site.  I found PowToons to be more immediate user friendly, however with time, a user can create some amazing animations with Wideo.  I could see this being used in a computer graphics class, or for teacher presentations. If one has more that thirty minutes to play around and need an awesome presentation, I would suggest this one.
