Using Animoto with Your Students- Set up Dummy Accounts

So those of us who teach first grade are probably very familiar with the "all about me" writing of the past. But today's "all about me" is about to look very different in room 222. I love Animoto and wanted to know if there is a way for the kids to all log on to it at once. I found the answer and it is YES! Click here to learn how to set up dummy accounts from your Animoto by assigning each kid your email+1, 2, 3, etc. These emails are instantly recognized as legit but the program doesn't actually recognize the +# so the emails go to you, but each kid has 180 days of their own free educator animoto account. Just use the educator code you got when you first applied for every kid. I already set my class up and it was easy, took about 20 minutes tops, and worked flawlessly as directed :)

  1. Steph,

    That is such a cool idea, I didn't realize that + and # were not recognized. I wanted to give my students the choice to create an Animoto and that made it so much easier, especially since they to my email account! Thank you!
