Animoto:
Easy to learn. User friendly. Lots of different themes. You can use pictures and videos. You can make a video in seconds. Easy to share too (facebook, email, Edmodo). Visually attractive. Constantly updated.

Easy to use. Step by step instructions. Combines pictures with photographs and animation and you can choose to write too. You can record your own voice or use predetermined ones. You can choose the timing of the slides. You can use a power point presentation to make this kind of video.

More suitable for showing procedures. You have to use your own voice if you choose to narrate. It is a bit more difficult than the other 2. You can show whatever is on your computer screen.
