Tool #7

I have created several iMovies over the past couple years. I always seem to have to reteach myself the steps for adding in texts, or music, or getting it to upload to the internet, etc. This time it was a little bit easier...however, I did get quite frustrated when applying titles to particular clips. I still couldn't get it to post one on the last clip of my iMovie. The iMovie process itself takes some time, but I always enjoy the outcome. In college, we had to use this feature to video ourselves teaching. I also used this feature toward the end of my student teaching to create an iMovie for the students. They loved seeing themselves on the big screen...its truly a great motivational tool. I will definitely be using this feature in the classroom this year. I've got several ideas brewing at the moment. When we study ecosystems and habitats, I'd like to group the kiddos into partners/groups, and have them come up with a way to teach the class about the ecosystem or habitat their group was assigned. From this, I can make one iMovie that the whole class can enjoy.
