Week 3: Videos

This week we were introduced to our video assignment and to iMovie. We started out by watching a few videos about high school students making videos and how it effected their lives. They were very moving and really good to start with. We were introduced to the basics of iMovie and how to use and create our movies on it by combining clips and different sounds. It seems pretty simple to use but I actually haven't gotten a chance to mess around on it yet because my group did not get any shots that day in class. I liked the video that we watched that explained how to use iMovie and I think that if I ever used this as a tool in my classroom that it would be a good resource to use to introduce how to use iMovie. I do not know exactly how to incorporate this tool into my classroom but I think that it could be really good for students who are interested in making a movie for a project or assignment. I think that being open minded about assignments and giving students opportunities to be creative is good because it allows them to find enjoyment in school. I am looking forward to being able to create my 30 second video and I really hope that it turns out like I want it to turn out.
