Animoto is a multimedia creation tool. Easily make a video from photos, video, text and set it to music. Animoto even includes a brief tutorial to help - you will see it upon logging in and creating a video! There are free accounts (30 second time limit), paid accounts, and educator accounts (school educators can receive free Pro accounts).

Examples:
 * St. Mary Catholic School Identity
 * Catholic Religion in Costa Rica
 * My Animoto Video from the St. Bernadette blog
 * The Trinity Academy website homepage has a couple animoto videos (also located here and here on Animoto's website as eventually the videos will be removed)
 * Saint Anthony School website homepage has a couple animoto videos (also located here and here on Animoto's website as eventually the videos will be removed)
 * 2012 National Catholic Youth Choir

What could the purpose of an animoto video be? Our brainstorm:

Create a 30 second video about your school, your classroom, your students, an upcoming unit of study, a past unit of study, or a topic of your choice. 1. Identify a message you would like to convey. 2. Locate images that you can use (be sure the images are available to you with regard to copyright) and have them saved to your device. You can use your own photos/video if you wish! 3. Create an account, log in to animoto and create a 30 second video.
