=Collecting Students' Animotos =

When you create your teacher account at Animoto Education you will receive an e-mail with a promotional code. You can give this promotional code to up to 50 students. When your students create their own accounts at Animoto Education have them use the promotional code. This will empower them to create Animotos up to 10 minutes long (as opposed to the 30 second limit for accounts without the code.) When the students have completed their Animotos they can e-mail them to you.
