media type="youtube" key="RWFmHZscmoo" height="315" width="560" I created this Xtranormal video to help persuade teachers and administrators to adopt the use of electroic porftolios in class. I decided to use Xtranormal to create this video because of the conversational nature of the site. After "playing" aroud on this site about a month ago I knew I would want to try creating a video using Xtranormal. Since I already had experience usig the site it was very easy to create the video itself. However, I did run into an issue trying to embed this video onto Wikispacs. Whenever I copied the embed code I received an error message that the code was not accurate. In order to embed the video I published it to YouTube first and then embedded the YouTube video onto Wikispaces. I can certainly see myself using Xtraormal and publishing videos to YouTube in my class in the future--both things are very easy to do and are highly engaging and useful to students.

media type="custom" key="15475046" I created this video to introduce a project about the role of individuals in history to my 8th grade students. I wanted to use Animoto becuase I wanted the video to be interesting, engaging and thought-provoking. I actually created this entire video on my iPhone to see how the app worked so I could help my studetns use it if they would like. I would love to have my students use Animoto to create IMP's from videos and pictures they take during our annual 8th grade trip to Gettysburg.
