K-12 Online Conference

Fun and Interesting!



Video clips called Teasers are used in K-12 Online Advertising to encourage potential 'participants' to engage in online learning. It is a taste of what the participant will learn about in a paricular session. Animoto is an application used by many presenters in K-12 Online conference sessions. I thought I would try a 30 second clip which took me about 2 hours to make... as I had to listen to alot of songs and search for alot of images. I actually had a great time doing this! My first effort was last night, no , actually early this morning. I posted it, dreamt about it , got worried, removed it, and created a second one ... but I still like the first one!!!

The message that the Teasers send are numerous. The content ranges from
the benefits that participants gain by collaborating in joint discussions ,providing reflections and fielding questions to expert teachers and authorities, learning about great Web 2.0 tools and how to use them. The purpose of K-12 Online Conferencing is to create opportunities to engage learners who take ownership of their skill development and build an awareness and practice of what others have to share and what strengths they can offer in collective collaborative relevant projects.

Animoto is a 'custom video creation of images, text and music.' There is a fast turn a around, easy sharing methods, a remix video with your initial video and it is free for limitless numbers of 30 second clips. Full length videos can be made for a small fee.

Why K-12 Online? WhyNot?
