Movie Reflection

This assignment was designed to demonstrate proficiency of using a video editing program and the ability to integrate technology to meet curricular goals. The NETS•S encourages teachers to; “design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity”(ISTE Nets-T, 2a) and “promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness”( ISTE Nets T, 1a). For this assignment I could use Windows Movie Maker, Windows Live Movie Maker or iMovie. The video should be an educational video relating to my area of study. The movie must be creative to engage students’ learning. I was permitted to use videos, pictures, power point slides, sounds from music or a recorded voice. I used pictures, transitions effects and texts to enrich the movie. Utilizing a slide movie title and credits was also a requirement to complete the project. The project could be a classroom visit, lesson, or a field trip.  When teachers are able to bring more interactive lessons via video, sound, and images, students are actively motivated and involved. Using multimedia can improve creative thinking and problem solving for students. Students can design presentations and video reports. Teachers can share classroom performances with their peers, as well. Movies are yet another tremendous benefit for teachers and students, making it more enjoyable and easier to learn.
