Animoto is wild, check this out: You submit your pictures, videos clips, music clips, etc.. and Animoto makes a MOVIE out of your content. Its surprisingly fast and easy to use. HAHA their catch phrase is “THE END OF SLIDESHOWS” LOL. Anyway its a remarkable idea, taking the hard work out of making a visual project or video.. students give Animoto the content, and Animoto does the rest. I will note that the FREE version of Animoto is limited, and so they sell a PREMIUM version that may be worth your time to investigate..

Even if you have heard of it, I bet you have not yet used Animoto.com as a classroom activity? Give it a try! CLICK HERE: www.animoto.com/education

Art teachers, find the National Gallery of Art here: NGA.Gov

According to their site, “the National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 for the people of the United States of America by a joint resolution of Congress, accepting the gift of financier and art collector Andrew W. Mellon. During the 1920s, Mr. Mellon began collecting with the intention of forming a gallery of art for the nation in Washington. In 1937, the year of his death, he promised his collection to the United States. Funds for the construction of the West Building were provided by The A. W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust. On March 17, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the completed building and the collections on behalf of the people of the United States of America.”
