Everything is Easier With iMovie
The tool that I chose to explore was iMovie!
I’ve never used it before and thought that it would be so helpful when I become a teacher, especially in times like these. It would be super helpful to record a lesson and throw it into iMovie for a quick and easy way to edit it and then you could put it online for times like this where EVERYTHING is online! Other ways you could use it could be for a script scene in arts education and everyone can use their own clip to make one big movie.
The first thing that I did was create the title pages on Canva and upload them to the ‘My Media’ page. I was unsure of how to do this, so of course I searched it up on youtube and came up with this.
The next thing I had to learn was how to split a clip because the Canva titles came all clumped together and my plan was the put videos in between each title. This is what I found for how to split a clip.
From there on it became pretty self-explanatory. All of my media was uploaded and all of my titles were split with the videos in between, it just came down to the finer details. Speeding up videos and muting sound out of my videos.
I had previously had an audio app downloaded on my laptop so it was simple to talk through the iMovie I had made and upload it on top of my movie.
For the reasons stated above, in my opinion, I think that iMovie would fall under the modification level of the SAMR Scale.
I hope to go further into detail and become better at using this tool, which would be super beneficial in my teaching career.
Check out the iMovie I made documenting my learning of how to use the drawing feature on my Cricut!!
Thanks for watching and reading my post and I hope to hear from you soon!
Even though I’ve already used iMovie before, I appreciate your detailed directions with screenshots included! If I was a new user to the app, it would be really helpful. I also really enjoyed watching your video, I’ll probably come back to it if/when I decide to purchase a Cricut for myself!!
iMovie is such a fantastic tool for the classroom, as you mention, for making movies and sharing videos. It’s great for students to share reflections (rather than writing it down) or to record presentations. Although, there will likely be students who do not have Apple products, so those students would not be able to participate in the same ways. This is where having many similar options for video editing projects can be really helpful (or if your school has devices that students can use/ borrow).
Looking forward to seeing where else your learning journey will take you this semester!
Great job editing Ericka! I really enjoyed your video it looked very well made and the voiceover and images were very helpful in following along. Your learning project is interesting every time I view it, keep up the good work. Thanks for demonstrating how to use iMovie a bit more in-depth, helped me understand it a bit more. Good Luck!
