Use these online tools to impress your teachers with amazing presentations and projects!
ANIMOTO
Animoto is an online tool that allows you to put together videos using pictures, text, and short video clips. You can create 30 second clips for free and it is very user friendly and faster than working with Windows Movie Maker because Animoto will do the animation for you!
