Digital movies in the classroom...

This week's activity with "iMovie" was fun. I can see that video in the classroom could be very useful. It might be a place where students can voice their opinions/views on a topic in a very personal way (even keep a video diary/journal) to be viewed by the class or the teacher. Students can use this media to compile book reports by reenactment, to conduct interviews, to use for journalistic venues like an online school newspaper, for research reports (an alternative to a PowerPoint presentation), to document science experiments, and to create video/slide shows instead of yearbooks. Instructional videos can be created by students or classes also. It may be a fun way to "pen-pal" with another district or school somewhere in the world. Such a fun media, and something kids can relate to. What kid doesn't want to see themselves as a star on film?

View my sample film, my dogs are the best!
