February 24, 2011 - Advanced iMove

Advanced iMovie
This course is for teachers who already know how to do the basics in iMovie such as adding pictures/video, text, music and transitions.  This course will dive deeper into what iMovie can do to enhance video projects.

I wish I had known how to do this a few weeks ago when our 6th grade had the Medieval Fair. It would have been fun to have a movie to have showing for PTC in March.
I can see how this would be a fun idea for projects in all areas.

Thank you so much for being so patient with me and not making me feel like a 1-D-10-T! You tech teachers are amazing! I am really glad I have decided to become more tech savvy and that you are there to help me. I know it will take several more times before I am comfortable enough to let my class loose on something like this, but the experience for me has been excellent!

iMovie is absolutely amazing! Thank you for helping me with step-by-step instructions. I would like to try a project for SEP Conferences and have it running for the parents to enjoy!

I had so much fun with this class! I can't wait to try an activity for my nutrition/food pyramid unit. It was fun to make the poem movie!

Donnelle- Great idea for having a movie during conferences...for next year!

Margaret- I liked the idea for the fair. A great way to document fun extra activities and field trips!

I really enjoyed this class and learning through interactive questioning about how to create an iMovie and then to use iDVD and create a DVD. I have watched some of the tutorials in the past and was not as interested in using either of these products in the classroom until taking this class. I liked the poem and using it to instruct us and adding all the extras to the show.

I would like to use iMovie as an interactive and creative Jigsaw lesson as students learn all about one topic in math, social studies or science and create an informative script with illustrations to teach the class an assigned topic. Also I think it would be a good interactive way to study and memorize a poem. Using pictures and different slides, having photo images illustrating the sentences (helping the ESL students). I am close to using iMovie as a review for math in structured group settings.

I really enjoyed these two classes. I had done a little with iMovie but did not know the potential that it held. Just looking for a good project idea to do with my little 2nd graders and going to jump in head first hoping the water is not too shallow.

Fun class- it is a lot more work than an iPhoto slide show, but the literacy connections are so great!!
I am going to try two projects- the first project will be with pictures of actions,and my students will practice their syntax skills with the record feature. The second project will involve a video with a narrative of the action. After I let the students view the video, I will remove the sound and use the video as a visual prompt for their speech. If I'm really brave, we may try a little typing...

This was a great class! I learned so much. I was afraid of trying iMovie before, but now I'm comfortable teaching it to the kids. We started using it today in class. The kids have picked a poem and are going to put pictures to it like we did - I'm excited for them to hear themselves read the poem. Fluency, fluency! Once we go through a quick project, those that are my quick finishers will work on publishing their stories as a movie. The kids are very excited! Thanks for all your help.

I am excited to use imovie to create the 'Important Book' about my class. I've integrated it with writing and photobooth. Students took their pictures, wrote their 'story' and we will combine them into the book.

I am glad that there are simple methods and more complicated features so that you have a choice of options.
