Upload Your Story


Animoto is a simple tool that allows you to create your own digital story by uploading photos, adding captions, and selecting music. This tool would be a great medium for student-produced projects using the L2. There are many possibilities for students to use both grammatical structures and appropriate vocabulary while being creative!

Here are a few practical ideas:
  1.  Create a narrative using the past tense(s) and upload appropriate photos.
  2.  Explain daily routines or habits using present tense.
  3. Give a “tour” of your house, your school, a city or country using hay (there is/are), vocabulary and descriptions.
  4. Or create a project similar to the example below using commands and vocabulary related to any topic.



Moreover, it's a fun way for teachers to create a quick and easy introduction to a new topic or a closing summary that can be shared online! Truly, Animoto is a great resource for both L2 teachers and students.
