Movie Maker

This project was a lot of fun to work on it the class because there are so many things that you can document in education. As I was making this video, I thought about all of the ways I can use this resource in my classroom. You can document so much learning through pictures and what could be better than doing that for each individual child. Parents can see what their children do on a daily basis and what experiences they undergo on a daily basis. Teachers can also make videos to show their classes that they know will be appropriate. By using this tool, they will not have to worry what may pop up on the screen or what will not. They can put exactly what they want and also give the children something educational to watch. This will help keep their attention in the classroom instead of them just having to stare at books all day. Also the teacher can have the students make movies of their families, pets, or anything they enjoy. The movie maker software is not that hard to use and with assistance from the teacher, students can make their own. I think that this is something that can be used for just about anything especially if you want to teach the class a specific topic. The standards that could be used in this lesson would be: #2 Communication and Collaboration- Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.


Here is my movie
