An app like Sound Literacy gives the teacher/tutor/parent great flexibility in working on phonemic awareness and phonics. I love having letter tiles that won't fall off the table or get lost when the student is making words. It can also be projected on a screen to use with a whole class."

Nancy Barth // Tutor/Reading Specialist

Last weekend, I whipped up a hand-drawn image on the role that technology should play in teaching and learning spaces. Over the last five days, it's been viewed over 4,000 times on Flickr and shared/favorited/retweeted over 500 times on Twitter.

Thought you might want to see it too:
(click to enlarge)
The motivation behind the image was to remind teachers that carefully thinking through just what we want our kids to know and be able to do is the FIRST step that we need to take when making choices about the role that technology plays in our teaching.

Sometimes I think we get blinded by the digital shine that comes off of new gadgets, tools and services. Worse yet, I'm convinced that far too many educators have bought into the mistaken notion that TECHNOLOGY motivates kids.

That just isn't true, y'all: Kids AREN'T motivated by technology. Instead, they're motivated by opportunities to make a difference in the world; they are motivated by opportunities to ask and answer their own questions; and they are motivated by opportunities to learn together with like-minded peers.

Digital tools CAN make all of that work possible - but until we start seeing technology as nothing MORE than a tool, we'll keep wasting time and cash on products that do nothing to change learning in meaningful ways for our kids.

You've applied for your free Animoto Classroom account and received your educator code. The next step is to set up Animoto accounts for your students. We've created a step-by-step guide to show you how we recommend you set up student accounts, but before you dive in, be sure to review our Education Terms of Service.

Step 1: Register for a free Gmail account

First things first, create a Gmail account. This email account is important because it's where you'll get all emails related to your students' Animoto accounts. These accounts will not be linked in Animoto itself.

In your new Gmail account, you'll get communications from Animoto, including notifications when videos are complete and password reset notifications. In that way, you can see what videos students have completed and keep an eye on their activity.

Step 2: Create alias emails for your students

The next step is to make alias email addresses for each student. You won't actually be creating an email address for each student - just a variation on your master email address. And if this sounds complicated, don't worry - it's actually pretty simple.

Gmail ignores any letters and numbers you add after a plus sign. But Animoto's system thinks each of these aliases is a unique email. So if you add a plus sign to your Gmail address (like this: yourusername+alias@gmail.com), you'll be able to create up to 50 student accounts without checking 50 different email addresses.

Any Animoto account set up with the emailaddress+alias@gmail.com format will send messages to the original "master" Gmail address. That means messages sent to mrssmithenglishclass+student1@gmail.com, mrssmithenglishclass+student2@gmail.com, and so on, are all delivered to mrssmithenglishclass@gmail.com.

These new alias emails will be the email addresses your students use to log into their Animoto accounts. We recommend you keep track of these email addresses in spreadsheet.

Step 3: Create Animoto accounts for your students

Now that your students have email accounts to let them log into Animoto, it's time to create their student accounts. Register each student from the signup link. Be sure not to provide any personally identifiable information about the student to Animoto at any time, including when you set up student accounts. (When you're asked for a name, write Student 1, Student 2, etc.)

After you register a student account in Animoto, you should also enter your educator promo code. You can do that for each student on the Account Profile page, entering your code in the promo code box. Without the promo code, the student's account will expire after the 14-day trial period.
