Movie Story

Windows movie maker will be a fun way to incorporate technology into a classroom setting. A teacher can create a movie based on themes, such as one on animals. This can aid in the students learning because each picture can be explained by the teacher, if she chooses to do so. Before creating this assignment on my own, I had no idea where to even begin to create a movie on the computer. I had a little trouble getting it to save to my jump drive, but I fixed that problem by hitting the “publish” button on the Windows Movie Maker program. This tool will help me communicate with my students through using pictures, instead of just passing around books. This will create a sense of community in the classroom. I also find that it would be fun for students to learn about each other, if they could create a small movie about their lives. This program would be great to tell the parents about. Music can also be added to these movies, which will aid in gaining all of the students interest when playing. I never knew creating a movie of my own could be so much fun, and rather easy!
