iMovie

Well here is my first attempt at using iMovie. Some of my kindergartners are working on choosing 2 specific characters and one event to write a story about. This student dictated the story to me and I wrote out each page and left certain words blank for him to fill in, then he illustrated each page. Once the story was written we recorded it on the iPad and I was able to put it all into iMovie. The best part was when the student played back what he had recorded he was able to pick up on errors with out me saying anything.


I look forward to giving this a try with more students and being able to stretch my creativity as well as theirs with this.

    Darcie, this is amazing. Cute story. Very imaginative. Keep making these stories, and note how your students react. Do they like seeing the final movie of their art work and text and hearing their voices?

    Super Job Darcie! It makes me want to buy a MAC. The students really did a nice job.

    Darcie, I'm inspired. This whole project seems overwhelming to me, but I see that I just need to dive in and stop worrying. I can see how beneficial this can be for the students to see and hear their final projects.

    I love how you were able to use this tool with your students! An excellent example with using technology in the classroom. I bet you see a lot of growth with your student(s) that you use this tool with very soon! As Aviva Dunsiger would say, you see the results, you use the tool!
