Movie Maker

In a classroom context how can you use video to create, present, communicate, summarise or evaluate?

• 
  
  To make a video you have to go through each of the above steps in order to complete it.


• 
  
  Have students present homemade video for show & tell instead of talking infront of class.


• 
  
  Set a task/topic, have students plan and create the video to present to class then evaluate the movie afterwards.


• 
  
  Make and send movies to pen pals.


• 
  
  Introduce yourself using a movie.


• 
  
  Re-inact a scene or movie, then review the movie making process and compare the two movies.

I used the microsoft movie maker. The screen shot above is when I was using this program to make a quick slide show movie for a presentation of images. After playing a bit I decided to use powerpoint to best display the images as the presentation we are using is already using powerpoint, it just makes it easy to only have to open one program when performing infront of an audience. Also when using images, you really do need to make sure they are good quality and big enough to best produce a quality movie.

I did however quite enjoy fiddling around with the different apps in the movie maker process. I could see that children qould really enjoy making a movie. If it could be incorporated into what they are learning about and used as a way to document their learning or present their information it would also provide their peers something they could engage with.
