Reflections on teaching

What’s cookin’?

I did a mini-reflection earlier this week here.

Only thing new is this, but it’s good!

Okay, I’m sharing some student work here. First, this was NOT the final project. This was the first “practice” film I had them do. There are too many effects, etc. because I let them throw in the kitchen sink to experiment with the effects. Still I’m pretty impressed with this one in particular. He managed to leave out the music during the video, which seems basic, but many classmates neglected that.

    Wow! Johnny did a super job! I love the creativity that comes out of playing with technology tools like this. What program did you use with the students?

    Sorry, MovieMaker which is a free program from Microsoft for Windows users. It is not as easy as PhotoStory, and crashes a lot. In it’s favor, it does regular backups, you can add video, and it exports to a WMV format that will convert to flash video. Photo story has too-few frames per second to post on TeacherTube, YouTube, Google Video or anywhere else.
