iMovie

When we were first introduced to iMovie, I was extremely intimidated. The project seemed daunting, and it took me awhile to get started. I carefully tiptoed around the project for some time before diving in. I have a PC so I was unfamiliar with iMovie. Once I jumped in and started really learning how to use the tool, I loved it. My movie took awhile to create because I was discovering all of the different effects. Now that I have used iMovie, I think that I will be able to use it with ease in the future. I also think that digital stories are incredibly useful in the classroom. Kids need to be engaged, and a movie to introduce a lesson is a perfect way to do that! A majority of students use technology for a significant amount of time every day, and I want to be able to speak to my students in their own language. I am thrilled to have learned about digital stories, and I will use them often in the classroom as well as outside of the classroom.
