In this lesson we reviewed the 2008 ISTE Standards for Teachers. Standard 3 suggests, “Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society”. We are expected to model the use of technology in the classroom. Create a free video using the Animoto software (animoto.com). The software is rather user friendly, but if you are having any issues there are a number of “how to” video available on YouTube to walk you through the process. Just go to YouTube.com and search “How to use Animoto”.
