April 17 ED421 Class Recap

It's business as usual in ED 421 and this week we are working with iMovie and creating a public service announcement concerning an issue of our choice. We learned some terminology associated with iMovie and video production like long shots, medium shots, and so on. We are given some constraints like the length of the movie is only 30 seconds and we are to incorporate at least 30 clips. This seems a challenge but should be fun. The only problem is that we are limited to iMovie. I just don't foresee me having access to even one Mac let alone enough to have all my students working with iMovie. It also isn't very compatible with sharing and working on other computers. It seems limited although a cool application.

Additionally we finished up the collage assignment which has us commenting on five pictures. The method of having students be the first and fifth comment on one picture almost guarantees everyone having five comments on their own picture providing great feedback. Feedback allows us to grow and see things from a different perspective and I think it's a great tool when it's specific.
