Movie Maker!!!

This is just a quick blog to add my attempt at using Movie Maker!!!

Using the Windows Movie Maker program, I put together a collection of Photo's depicting the culture and landscape of Africa as created by a Yr 5 student. I also imported a music trck of African Tribal songs. This was a great program to use. I found it really easy to navigate, and can definately see the potential of usng this tool in the classroom. These types of tools can be uploaded to websites or blogs or a wiki!! So it would work well as an addition to any unit.

There are copyright and intellectual property considerations that need to be explored and analysed when allowing student's to work with this application. What photo's can be used from the web? What referencing needs to be shown? Can you use pictures from books? Can I download music from itunes to use in my presentation? These are all questions a student in my class may have.

This will be discussed in more detail in a later blog.

Happy Blogging!!!
