IMOVIE

This week we have been making our mini movies for our class. The ending goal was to create a movie that would introduce the topic and demonstrate to the students how to acomplish the task at hand. I must admit that it was a whole lot of fun and the skills that we started to sharpen will come in handy in the classroom. The end product that you see here on my blog could have been a bit more fine tuned but it was my first attempt at movie making and it turned out ok I thought. Some may ask how this relates to teaching students and do I have an answer for you! I can use Imovie to create many things in my class room that can help the students have fun with learning the different topics that we cover in class. The movie that I made pertained to science but I can easily make an instruction movie with a little planning and preparation. I can turn a trip that I took to a historical place into an in class field trip so that the students can still learn about the topics that we cover without having to step out side the classroom. It is an excelent way to present the material in a different way so that those students who learn better visually. More fun to come!
