Using imovie

I really enjoyed using imovie to make a digital story about my spring break trip 2010. I was really intimidated at first when I heard that we were making a "movie." I think that imovie is more like a really high-tech, nice slide show which sounds a lot better to me than a "movie." At first it was frustrating getting all the pictures and the music to line up, but in the end it was overall pretty east to use. I really like how the movie turned out and I ended up showing it to all my friends I went on spring break with and they loved it! I will defiantly use this in my classroom and put imovies on my classroom web site.

Concept Map

I really enjoyed using the inspiration program. I really like the idea of using concept maps with students to organize their thoughts. I like doing the concept maps using this program because they are really easy to make and look a lot nicer than drawing them yourself. I can see using kidspiration in my classroom with the younger kids.
