Today we are introducing the first grade classes to the iMovie video editing program on the Apple/Mac computers.
Goals:
- create simple slide show presentations using digital photos and student narration
- develop teachers’ understanding of how iMovie can work in the classroom
- get students to understand that making a movie is an alternative way to communicate a message, just like writing
Process:
- bring students to computers with Rhys working modeling the editing process on a computer next to teachers and students on a neighboring computer
- import all photos on digital cameras into all computers being used
- have students open iMovie on all computers with teachers helping
- add photos to the timeline — allow students to change the sequence of the images by dragging and dropping
- record 1 line of narration per student
- rotate to a new group of students

Unfortunately I am not there to see this. This sounds like a great start for the first grade classes. I hope everything runs smoothly. Let me know how it goes.
