Teachers can get FREE Pro accounts and can establish accounts for students. You have to apply annually for codes to give to students, but it is FREE!

First create an account and then apply to upgrade your account here to the Pro version, which will allow you to create longer videos. You should get the code very quickly. Save it!! Once you get the code, click on your account and add it to upgrade yourself if Animoto hasn't done it for you already. You can then use this code for your students, up to 50.
