Head on over to Animoto.com and request an educator account. You can create 30 second videos with their regular free account, but these helpful folks provide free unlimited access to educators! You do have to request the account though and wait a few days for them to send you a link and instructions.

Once you have an account, simply upload pictures from your computer, select music from their library or upload your own, and wait for the magic to occur. They say that every video is different, so if you don’t like the way yours turns out, simply try again. This is such a fun site! Once you create a video, you can copy the embed code (I’ll show you how!) and then place the video on your own class web site to share with your students and their families.

Here’s an example of a video I just created from some pictures I had of South Salem’s 2008 beach party.
