My Animoto!

The Alphabet!

My animoto video is complete! I really wanted to create a video that might help my kindergarten students practice the letters of the alphabet and their individual sounds. Some of my kids are still having a hard time with some of the letters. This video goes through each letter of the alphabet, is followed by an image of something that starts with that letter, and finally shows a caption of the word of each object. 

One of the things that NETS wants students to do regarding technology is to  "demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations." Students are to understand how technology can be used in the classroom. This video exposes them to different technologies.

NETS for teachers states that teachers should "develop digital age learning experiences." Animoto is a great way for teachers to incorporate technology into their lessons. I've been working on letters and sounds with my kindergarten students, but I've never made a video! 

I think my students will enjoy watching this video and stating the letters they see and the images that accompany each one. The repetition will be good for them as well. 

Check out my animoto video!
