Wideo is a nice tool for creating Common Craft-style videos. You can create animated videos on Wideo by dragging and dropping clipart and text in storyboard frames. You set the position and animation sequence for each element in each storyboard frame. When you have completed your storyboards Wideo generates a video for you.

Wideo, an animated video creation tool that I've reviewed a couple of times, recently published avideo highlighting seven ideas for using their service in classrooms. The ideas featured could be applied to using a number of other video creation services in addition to Wideo. Some of those services are mentioned in my post 5 Video Projects to Try With Your Students. 

Wideo is a service that allows anyone to create animated videos and Common Craft-stylevideos online. You can create an animated video on Wideo by dragging and dropping elements into place in the Wideo editor then setting the sequence of animations. Each element can be re-used as many times as you like and the timing of the animation of each image can individually adjusted. Wideo's stock elements include text, cartoons, and drawings. You can also upload your own images to use in your videos. 

In one of yesterday's posts I suggested creating interactive year-in-review videos with your students. This morning my inbox contained at least five emails from folks who wanted to know a bit more about that process. I like to use Wideo.co to create interactive videos. In my Wideo videos I can build interactive buttons that viewers can click to learn more about anything they see in my videos. In the video embedded below I provide an overview of how to create interactive videos on Wideo.

Wideo es una aplicación online que permite hacer videos animados de manera sencilla y divertida. La herramienta, creada por un estudio argentino y premiada con el BBVA Open Talent de la Red Innova, pone al alcance de los usuarios una tecnología fácil de utilizar para hacer videos explicativos de animación sin tener conocimientos previos. Puede servir para elaborar materiales didácticos motivadores, o para invitar a los alumnos a realizar trabajos audiovisuales donde sinteticen la información a la vez que ejercitan las competencias digital y lingüística, entre otras. Puedes utilizarlo en todas las asignaturas, tanto de Primaria como de Secundaria.

Una de las opciones disponibles para realizar esta tarea es Wideo, una plataforma que permite crear de manera sencilla videos animados en cuestión de minutos sin necesidad de ser un experto en edición.

Hoy les quiero presentar una herramienta 2.0 que descubrí hace unos pocos meses y que, por falta de tiempo, no había podido explorar cómo utilizarla...Este fin de semana le dediqué algún tiempito y acá el resultado.
