Multimedia Technologies for Final Projects  The two tech tools you will play with today are Animoto and Glogster.

Creating an Animoto: Animoto is a nifty online service that takes photos, text and music and remixes them into professional looking video clips. The results are eye catching and impressive. Students can make animoto videos to present projects in a flashy format. Students learn to choose appropriate images and music, and to write storyboards to produce short video presentations.
