Children under 13 aren't allowed to register at your site. How then can I have my younger students use this program?
To ensure that your younger students are protected, we suggest you come up with dummy e-mails for them that are under your control. This way you can monitor the activities that go on under their Animoto accounts.
Can we work on Animoto simultaneously while doing in-class assignments?
This was the main reason we decided to launch "Animoto for Education." Many educators were allowing their students to use their own accounts for assignments, but only a few people could be signed in under them at a time. With "Animoto for Education," students can each have their own accounts. This makes both in-class and homework assignments easier to do.
What other benefits do we get from having All-Access?
Not only will students be able to use their own accounts to make full-length videos while in-class or at home, they also can download their videos. This may make presenting in class easier when an internet connection isn't available. Also, since each student will have their own account, they can share videos amongst each other more readily.
How do I use my Classroom Code?
When you get your Classroom Code, have your students register. In the registration area, there will be a link that states "have a code?" Click it and then enter your Classroom Code.
Upon successfully registering with the Classroom Code (this is essential), your students will have All-Access to our site.
How do I get a Classroom Code for my students?
E-mail Rebecca Brooks at rebecca@animoto.com. She will set you up with one. Just promise to keep us updated on all the innovative, cool ways that you use Animoto in the classroom.
We hope this site becomes an area where teachers can share creative web 2.0 teaching ideas.
