Animoto

This week we learned about Animoto, a website that lets the user create slideshows set to music. This is a great opportunity for learners to showcase their multiple intelligences.

In particular, it is a good tool for instruction and assessment in ESL. It is useful for instruction because teachers can scaffold their presentation of vocabulary with images. It is useful for assessment because ELLs are able to demonstrate their writing ability in a fun way.
