Videosharing

**What Is Video Sharing?**
There are many video sharing sites that allow the user to create, upload images, add music, photos, and text. [|Flickr,] which was mentioned under photosharing also allows you to create short videos. One of my favourite sites for creating video is [|Animoto]and it is perfect for classroom use because there is Animoto for Education that permits teachers, grades K-12, to have unlimited access and full range of Animoto's services for free. The education account is controlled, safe environment for students. One of the advantages to using a web based video creating site is that finished videos can be shared by e-mail, or by posting to a blog or website, exporting to YouTube, or by downloading to your computer, and even adding it to iphone and ipod touch.
