Animoto is a web application that produces video like trailors from photos, videos and music. What a fun way to do a Book Report! Students can spend one or two periods "harvesting" pictures that relate to their book. For Charlotte's Web, I made a folder in my "Pictures" folder entitled the same name as the book. Then I went to Google Images and typed in Charlotte's Web. I made sure to right click on the pictures and click on "Save Picture As". I find "copy" works 50% of the time, but fails 98% of the time :)
Animoto can be fanickity. (Is that a real word, or one that just my mom uses) It appears to only like JPEGs. So when you are looking for good pictures, double check that they are not copy righted and jpg!
When teaching Animoto, I usually give a quick reminder about using "legal" images.
For Charlotte' Web I downloaded images of: author, setting, main characters, problem, solution (without giving the story away) and a rating out of 5 stars.
