Digital Media Creation

I spent some time this evening looking through different programs that allow you to make your own videos, slideshows, etc. I can think of tons of ways to use these for my own personal use, like Animoto but is still thinking about ways to use these with my students. I know next year there is going to be a big focus on Vocabulary words that connect to our reading themes. I am wondering if my students would be able to create a video to help them learn and understand the meanings of the words. I will have to think more on this.
