Thing # 21

Taylor's Birthday

In the past, I have made video clips that include images and music.  I possess a couple of programs on my computer that allows me to be creative with my photos.  Lightroom, Garage Band and i photo are some of the programs that are capable of creating a slide show.  Animoto is a website that allows you to import photos from a variety of sources and create a slideshow to music that you choose. They provide themed backgrounds with matching music.  One can create a 30 second clip for free or pay to have more freedom and time.  I imported pictures of my niece's second birthday.  It was fun playing with the different backgrounds and music.  I really liked this website and found it easy to navigate.  If I did not have similar tools that I was already familiar with, I would use this in the near future.  I enjoy taking photos and making slideshows of them personally and professionally.  As a future educator, I plan on making similar slideshows for the parents of my students as an end of the year gift.  This will allow them to feel connected to and have a keep sake of  their child's school year.
