This document discusses how Animoto, a web-based tool, can be used to create short video clips called "movie trailer" style videos to engage learners. Animoto videos can include images, music, and text to introduce or summarize class concepts. Some key benefits of Animoto include free 30-second videos, a music library, cloud storage, and the ability to easily edit and share videos. The document also provides a link to nearly 30 example Animoto videos created by the facilitator across various disciplines and an evaluation of how well an Animoto video taught a plant life cycle. While Animoto can promote active learning and engagement, the document cautions that instructors need to provide guidance to help students focus their time product
