Animoto was the tool I chose to present on the Cool Tool Assignment. This is a tool that is really a necessity when it comes to adding and/or expanding technology into the classroom. This tool is perfect especially during this time that we had to revitalize they way we teach our students due to Covid. 
In my field I would be able to use this tool to have my kids understand what I want them to do. What is great about Animoto is that it's not just an audio tool, it is also a visual tool. 
With that being said, If I sent an assignment telling my kids I want them to send me videos of them doing such required assignment, ( push-ups, sit-ups, lunges etc.) The students can upload their videos and or pictures that they may have taken and make them into a small video production.
The coolest thing about this tool is that it allows the students creativity to come alive. This tool allows uploads of the media and allows the students to add music, text, framework ( how you want your media to show). It has different genres of music and different templates that fits all. 
I have used this tool with my kids upon it being presented to be. I find kids want new and exciting ways to express themselves with their creativity. They want you to know what either they are thinking or what they can do and how they did it. 
Presenting this creative method to my students in Schoology has really increased the participation in kids being active during virtual classes. Students are excited to log in and ask If I have seen their videos.
