Classroom Reflection

Prior to this class I had never used digital story telling with moviemaker. I think that this class has given me some great ideas on how to incorporate more technology in my classroom. I have also gained confidence using more technology in my class.

I plan to use moviemaker in my science class. Students will research a given severe weather topic and use the information that they learn to create a digital story using moviemaker. Students will present their movie to their classmates. Moviemaker will be a useful tool to enhance student learning and it can be incorporated into many of the science units we study. I think using moviemaker as a way for students to teach their classmates about a given topic is extremely valuable.
