Imovie project

The Imovie app would be more beneficial for high school students but I could see elementary aged students using it to create videos with pictures and music to introduce a history or social studies project or report. Teachers could use it as well to create a video to enhance or introduce a lesson in a variety of subjects. It would be a great way for students to interact with technology to perhaps create a video to go along with a unit of study. I know a teacher who would take his students on a field trip to Makinaw Island each year and gather pictures and make a music slide show of the whole field trip experience. I have created several vidoes from Imovie to highlight seasons for track and cross country teams that I have coached. Here is a link to one of these projects that I uploaded to Itunes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSXUilpJpbc

  1. Gale - the purpose of the assignment was to explore the movie trailer option within iMove. This is very different from the movie creation portion. I would highly recommend exploring it as it is very applicable to younger kids.

    Also, I feel obligated to share that your highlight video is great, but you need to obtain permission to use the song with it. If it fell under Fair Use, laws would only allow for 30 seconds of the song (or 10% whichever is less). However, if it was something distributed it couldn't even use that much without written permission. Just so you are aware!
