Final Project Reflection

This was a fun project.  I was able to let my children be a part of it.  Sadly only the footage of my son Dracen would work with movie maker.  I had some other footage of my other son and some of our cousins playing for the exercise clip but it would not comply.  I also had some difficulty in uploading my video to Youtube because I used 30 seconds of each song initially and I guess you can only use 30 seconds total in sound clips.  We had a lot of fun making the videos though so it was a good experience. 

I don't think this video will be appropriate for an English class so I won;t be using it in my classroom.  I do think I could use it in the school setting for a health class so it is an option to donate it for those purposes.  I also think it could be used as an informational video for an organization such as WIC.

I think I'd like to use movie maker for my class by having my students act out their interpretations of literature. I think it would be fun for them and an entertaining way for them to learn the material. I think using multimedia benefits teachers in many ways.  One I see especially in using this project is making learning more entertaining for students and having them use technology allows them to work in their comfort zone.
