Thing 21

This was super easy and lots of fun. Students will have a blast using Animoto to create their videos. I think the remix is more fun than creating the original. Animoto could be used as a class project with each student adding his/her favorite picutes, as a class research project with each student finding specific historical images and learning how to create credits at the end to avoid copyright infringement or as individual projects following the same format. I think the class project would be interesting and the students would also learn to collaborate with each other.

Thing 20

YouTube is a great tool. There are videos on almost every subject you can think of. I use it all the time to view historical videos. I chose We Didn't Start the Fire! because as you listen to the words of Billy Joel's great song, the pictures in this particular video tell the story of the important events in history since 1949. I might have chosen some different pictures, but overall, I thought this video was well done. YouTube is a great addition to your library because with a simple search you can find what you need and add it to a playlist ready to show to students.
