Please describe this tool in your own words:
Magisto is an automatic movie editing tool. It is incredibly simple to use. The user uploads a video, chooses a song, and a title and the tool automatically edits the video. The program has tons of different song choices to choose from, or the user can use a song they already have on their computer, like a song from itunes. The user can choose one movie or use multiple videos that can be edited together. Magisto’s app on the iphone makes the program even easier to use. The user can record a video straight from the iphone, choose multiple videos already stored on the iphone, add a song, and a title and let Magisto do the rest! Movies can then be shared through email, youtube, twitter, and facebook.

Please describe a scenario of how
you might use this tool in a teaching environment:
In the next year we will be implementing
electronic portfolios. One section of the e portfolios will be biography
or about me. Some employers like to learn a little bit about a
person and a short video clip would be perfect. For example, if a student
likes to ski they could take multiple videos of them skiing, choose a
title and a song and have Magisto create an entertaining video clip.
Magisto only takes a few minutes and the end result looks like something
that took hours to compile. The effort will impress employers as
well as help them feel a connection with the student. These videos
could also be used as an introduction in a distance education course to help
familiarize the students with each other.
What are the advantages of using
this tool in a teaching environment?
Using this tool in the teaching environment helps
get the students creativity going.
What are the disadvantages of using
this tool in a teaching environment?
I think the only disadvantage is that this tool
is so neat it could be distracting in a teaching environment.
