memoov.com teacher review:
Wow! I give this program four stars! This new web 2.0 product of memoove.com is a great resource for teachers. It allows you to create animated characters in different settings for free. It is simple and easy to use as it is not that complicated. Even new teachers to technology could use this in their classroom. This website has simple step directions on how to create an animated video in minutes. It has characters you can choose from. You can even change their clothes. It has different settings you can also choose from.
How can kindergarten teachers implement this product in their classrooms?
This is a great tool to introduce new letter sounds, sight words, and phonemic awareness activities in an entertaining way. I would like to create multiple short videos introducing new topics for students to watch. It is using cartoon characters to keep their minds entertained while they are learning. A sample video I would like to do is introducing a new sight word: the. I would get a funny bunny to be the spokesperson then have him hold up a sign that has the new word of the day. Then the bunny would spell the new word and use it in sentences. I really think kids would like it.
As I did my commercial using memoove for my project I did notice it was a little more difficult to figure out exactly how to do it. It was hard to figure out the timeline and how to get the characters to move around. I figured out you needed to do short little scenes for each segment that does take a little bit of time to figure out. I am now waiting for the movie I produced to download. If it works, it will be great!
Great find!
