It is a creative way for students to express their learning in an artistic way, without having to be a great artist. Personally, I can't draw to save my life, so I think it is very helpful for those kids who want to express themselves creatively, but may lack the confidence to do it!

Students who prefer drawing with traditional tools (pencils and paper). could draw their renditions of the story, scan it then paste it into animoto and put their story (slideshow) to music. Very user friendly.
