Movie Maker Staff Development Comments:
"It was great!! I took some of
the still pictures I have of my students participating in the
different activities throughout the semester and made a short
movie of it. I am going to use it the first day of school to
introduce the students to the class."
"Extremely cool! More stuff like
that, the better off we are. It helps to keep our kid's
attention and keeps us up to date also."
"Great!!! This is the
stuff I'm talking about! This is what will get kids interested
and will get us into the 21st century. Thanks for doing it."
"The program seems
excellent and very user friendly. It will take some creativity
to decide how to work into science classwork, but I can see how
I might use it to pump up some presentations."
"It was good. The instructors taught
the info in an easy to understand at all levels manner."
There
are many uses for Movie Maker.
1.
Have "guest speakers" in your classes by interviewing your
speaker the first time they come. Community members are more
likely to come for 1 period & for 1 day rather than semester
after semester, but your students can still get the benefits of
different perspectives
2. Have the
students create their own movies - examples: culminating
activities for a class (an art show for example), presentations
for students who are nervous about speaking in front of the
class, but still must present their research, or how to
present/how not to present examples for your students' projects
3.
Record/take pictures of old projects/posters for assignments
that you use every semester. This will clear out some of the
clutter that we all have kept around for examples for future
students.
4. Video
part of your lecture and you can use it with your other classes
instead of saying the same thing 3xs a day.
5. Down
load part of your class so students can pull up the audio part
and listen to it while they are walking or jogging. (A great
memorization technique for court cases, amendments, English
terms etc.)
6. Video a
lab activity, down load it so students can watch and review at
home throughout the semester.
7. Take
your kids on virtual local field trips by making a movie of the
location
