Animoto a great tool for self-evaluation

How I Use It

I don't use Animoto for it's intended use very much. Instead, I have my students create a "practice story" with it as homework. I have them create at least two slides for each time they practice their instrument. They can look at their first slide and try to think of things they can improve with how they look (holding the instrument correctly, posture, etc.). Then they can make a second slide showing how they improved. It doesn't yield much creativity, but it's great for self-evaluation and reinforcing technique, posture, etc.
