Mother’s Day (in the US at least) is just four days away. If you’re considering having your students make Mother’s Day cards, consider having them make video Mother’s Day cards by using Animoto. If you have access to a scanner, students can bring in photos to scan. If you don’t have access to a scanner, you can have students create drawings online (there are five good tools here) and use those drawings in their videos. Here is a sample Mother’s Day video card created by Animoto. By the way, I’m making one for my mother (I’ll be buying flowers too, I’m not that cheap).
