A Campus Tour Using Animoto

When I first started to think about this project I did not know how I was going to create an Animoto relevant to my professional area. Working with college students as an advisor, I meet with prospective students to educate and inform them about Goodwin College.   Not being in the classroom and trying to keep with the theme of the project, creating something I could use to educate students with I came up with the idea of a tour of the campus. 

My Animoto will be a tool that I can use to give students a visual view of the many features available on campus.  This Animoto can be incorporated into my daily advising sessions for students who might possibly inquire about the library, computer labs, where the student lounge is located and what floor are the sciences labs located on.  The college will become a student’s second home and we want them to feel comfortable navigating the campus. I enjoyed learning how to use this piece of technology and creating a project with it.  Animoto is a great teaching tool that can be used to educate students incorporating technology.  I think students would enjoy creating their own Animotos for many different class projects.  I have plans to use it for my travel pictures and an upcoming family reunion gathering.

Animoto Blog Post

 I have never used Animoto before.  I am really amazed at the possibilities everytime I am introduced  to a new technology program.  After pre-viewing two in class and one today (The Life Cycle of A Pumpkin) I am looking forward to creating my own Animoto.   I would like to create one with my favorite travel location and one that is work related that I can use at the college to benifit students with online registration.  The topic: Life Cycle of a Pumpkin  did not directly relate to higher education but the process of showing how a pumpkin grows is relatable.  What I took away from this Animoto was I can create one that will show students through a series of steps/pictures of how to register for class with our online system.  It would benefit students who are not familiar with how to use the system and it would intergrate current technology into the advising process.http://rhouse1204.blogspot.com/search/label/Animoto
