_ I have decided to use this tool because it is highly connected to the concept of e-learning, which teachers are using, applying or starting to learn how to work with it.
_ “E-learning refers to learning that takes place using technology, such as the internet, CD ROOMs and portable devices like mobile phones or MP3 players” (Gavin Dudeny and Nick Hockly, 2007:136)
_ In addition to this, this website is really useful in that it helps users create videos which enhance visual learners understanding and displays theory the form of a story and implies movement. It is interesting to create products and to interact and explore classmates’ creations.
