Remember Maria Andersen from Muskegon Community College? She wrote a jingle about Jing Well, she's been at it again and creating lots of cool content!
Maria wanted to show what a year of blogging about math and technology looked like in video form. She discovered Animoto and it seemed like a good way to make promotional videos for courses and clubs at her college. Maria wanted a fast way to explain (in presentations and workshops) what it is that she has been doing for the last year with her Math & Technology blog.
How did Maria make this video? Maria has a math blog on Blogger. She discovered that Animoto can scrape your images from Picasa (and other services). And, since Blogger automatically creates a Picasa account and stores all your blog images for you, Animoto was able to pick up the images automatically. Then, Maria only had to order the images, spotlight the ones she want featured more prominently, and choose her music. Then Animoto does all the work so you can sit back and relax.
I like Maria's video because in addition to her photos, it shows off a lot of SnagIt screenshots from her blog! Check out her video below. This is a great way to visually off her year of blogging. It is like a blog scrapbook!
