Thanks to everyone who sent ideas and examples!

ORIGINAL REQUEST:  I'm preparing a presentation on Animoto and Glogster for my 
district's professional development day.  I will be presenting to teachers from all 
grade levels and was hoping some of you would be willing to share examples of how 
you and your teachers are using these tools in your schools.  I have searched the 
archives but was hoping to come up with some more examples to share.

RESPONSES:

I'm using glogster for my library webpage- not as much with kids yet-

Here is a link to a teacher resources page that I have on my website. I
have a Glogster that I created that is a collection of education related
Web 2.0 tools. Although it is not student work, it would show them what
it looks like and then could be a tool for them to investigate other Web
2.0 tools. I made it for teacher in-service this past fall. Feel free to
share.

We use Glogster in student portfolio work and as a web page to highlight 
announcements and videos.

My PreAP teacher does a year long poetry project.  For one six weeks she has them 
choose a poem by their poet.  They type the poem into Animoto and then chose images 
that represent the themes, ideas, etc. that the poet is trying to convey.  Some of 
the kids also take their own pictures and use those.  After they play their Animoto 
videos, the students then explain the poem and why they chose the images that they 
used.

I haven't had any luck with Glogster, but Animoto is a hit here with students from 
7th-12th grades.  For English classes, students have created Animoto movies for 
book reports...for social studies, they've used it for current events reports...I 
even have teachers using Animoto to share information with students!

https://sites.google.com/a/nscds.org/books/ is a link to book trailers my 5th 
graders made.  Personal favorites are Charlotte's Web, & HIVE though there are 
other good ones on there as well.

Additionally here is a video made by the second grade class of pictures students 
took on a field trip to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium:

Have you seen this? Don't reinvent the wheel!

also, I've done some animoto book trailers for our Destiny OPAC, but it's on the 
intranet.  If you want me to send you a link I can.

I'm working with a language arts teacher who is having students create book 
trailers using Animoto. Last fall a Spanish teacher had some students using Animoto 
to make public service announcement. And we had a socialogy teacher use Glogster as 
a means for students to create personal glogs that represent them.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but here goes!

Below are some examples of how I use Glogster in our high school library.  I do 
booktalks with the local public librarian 3 times a year (English classes come in 
every hour to listen).  I used to print off booklists, but have switched to 
Glogster to highlight the books (which are linked to our catalog) and resources we 
feature.  The first is with my educational account, the second with a regular 
account (signed into the wrong one before I noticed that time).  They are probably 
not the best examples out there, but just some things I have experimented with.

http://gietzel.glogster.com/winter-booktalks-2010/

I am not aware of any teachers in my building currently using either of the 
programs yet, but I will be doing book trailers again later this year and we are 
looking at Animoto...just waiting on an educator account.

This is an example of one I made for our Book Fair.  I also made one for our 
Reading is Fundamental program at our school.  Enjoy!  I'd love to see some of your 
examples and how you utilized animoto in your media center.
Thanks!
