Diabetes Awareness

What went well: The editing process went well. It took me a little while to figure out how to time the captions but after that it was easy and fun. Now that I know how to use imovie and find pictures of the right resolution, I think that this will be a very useful and fun tool to use.

What did not go well: Quite a few things did not go well. I struggled to find photos that were the right resolution and were copyright free. The photos that I had collected and brought on the first lab day were too low of a resolution, so I had to start over. On Thursday, I was finally able to figure out how to get high resolution photos off of Flickr. Once I found the correct photos, using the imovie tool was fairly easy. It did take me a little while to figure out how to properly time the comments. I had to watch my movie several times and edit it several times to get it how I wanted it.

 How to use in my classroom: I think that this would be a great tool for students Middle Grades or higher (consequently, this is the grade level I will be teaching). In order to help the students use the tool, because of copyright issues, photo resolution issues ect. I will provide explicit instructions as well as a list of websites where they can find photos and music that is copyright free. I will also give instructions on how to use creative commons photos from Flickr.
