Signing up for Educational Account
- Go to http://animoto.com/
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Education
- Click on Apply Now
- In the upper right, look for Sign Up and click on it
- Fill out the form and click Sign Up
In the next window, an Animoto Application for Education will appear. Fill out the form and click sign up. Once approved, you will receive a code to use for up to 50 users.
Remember – sign up for the Education Account because it allows you to create unlimited full length videos.
Adding Students to Your Animoto Education Account
Create a “Master” Gmail Account to use with your Animoto Account. This account will allow you to create different log ins for your student while having control of your student Animoto Accounts. For details on how this works and instructions for setting up your student accounts, please click here.
This is what I received in my “Master” gmail account at the end of our workshop. See how I can see what my “students” are doing in Animoto?
Hint – if you have more than 50 students, team up with another teacher(s) and create accounts you can share.
