Animoto - http://animoto.com/

Barbara De Santis from Sayreville Public Schools (Sayreville, NJ) uses Animoto to allow teachers to share classroom activities (think of a video newsletter) and to allow students to create projects to demonstrate understanding. Animoto is easy to use, creative, student friendly, and can be adapted for many grade levels and content areas. You can also email the link or embed the video.
Matt Gehrett from Fresno Pacific University (Fresno, CA) utilizes Animoto to quickly produce awesome unique videos using photos, video clips and a wide array of popular music. He finds this tool to be user friendly and powerful at the same time. It is an effective tool for student presentations.
Cynthia Calongne from Colorado Technical University (Colorado Springs, CO) integrates Animoto as it enflames the imagination as it transforms images and slides saved as .jpg into 30-second free videos set to royalty free music in 10-15 minutes. It is fast, evocative, makes my work look great, and embeds easily on my blog with a click of a button and a paste command.
