Hello,
I think it’s a best place for biology students and teachers to have what they want and to interact. I liked Biology but, couldn’t find a supportive platform to project a career in it.

Excellent song for the Love presentation though – Much better than the Darwin one all around!!

I think the music in the Darwin one was a little inappropriate for students and I would have a big time problem as a parent with taking time to celebrate ‘darwin’ but I do like Animoto as a tool.

Sorry for the delayed response!

I actually live in the Northeast now. I just emailed the link to my colleague who printed it out and gave it to the sub. Alternatively, I could post the link to my blog.

I agree that animoto is the bomb and really catches the attention of the students (and parents) However, there have been cases where school districts doors have been kicked down by copyright attorneys…. We really do have to model proper copyright to the students. Animoto does offer limited music, or you can search through Creative Commons for music that you can credit. Our district bought a license for Soundzabound, which offers “sounds like” and original royalty free music.
Not to be a kill joy at all, but we are the example….

I’d like to try this, as I know if I’m out for conferences and such, this would be invaluable.
A couple of questions – how did you get the file to your classroom/sub? Did u post it on your website and it was just accessed that way? Did another teacher help the sub get started? I LOVE this idea, but I’m just not sure how I can get a sub to understand how to do this. If I could get it to my website, that would be ideal. But, I have a SMARTBoard, so I MUST have a laptop with a login on the docking station – I usually take mine how each night. Any suggestions??? Als0 – where are u located? You said “southeast” – as am I – just wondering how close we are to maybe collaborate?? thanks!
