In high school I took a class that worked with Excel Spreadsheets. I thought I would be well prepared for this class project, but I was not! I forgot everything I ever learned about Excel. Thankfully, the directions were very clear on this and I had a knowlegeable neighbor. The finished project actually ended up being really cool. I will most likely use the method we did on Spreadsheets if I have time. It was very time consuming and tedious and took me a while to complete.
Animoto seems to be very cool. It is a site that allows you to make short 30 seconds movies for free, and full length movies at an upgrade fee. I think that Animoto would be fun to do in the classroom after a field trip or project in the class. Some of the issues that stood out to me were the lack of variety for songs or backgrounds. I would rather have something a bit less generic. However, being that this is not something that I would use too often in the classroom, that is not a huge problem.
