 * Week 2 - Creating a Photo Profile **

You're probably wondering what Animoto is. This week, you will work in the Computer Lab to publish photo stories about yourselves. Instead of bringing in pictures and showing it in class, you will create a digital narrative. Digital narrative is just another way of expressing yourselves using technology. We will be using many forms of digital narratives throughout the school year. Animoto is just one of them.

Follow the directions below and get ready to go Animoto!
