Mi Familia en Madrid

     In the Mi Familia en Madrid Animoto, I showed my viewers some different photos of my family in Madrid, Spain.  This would have been a great introduction tool in the beginning of the school year when I was showing photographs of my trip abroad.  This is a great way to organize pictures and show them in a fun and engaging way.  In the Spanish classroom, you can introduce different units with photographs, music, and text from different Spanish speaking areas around the world.  Students, can create different Animoto's that allow them to be creative in bringing their writing pieces 'to life'.  Students can complete different writing prompts in the classroom, and with the help of Animoto, they can create different sections of their writings and use their imaginations to make videos of it.
    Animoto can be a free replacement for PowerPoint, field trips, digital storytelling, science projects and more.

Thanks for introducing us to your Spanish family.

Your ideas for using VT sound motivating.
