My Movie Maker

My Movie Maker was relatively easy software to use. The main issue I had with this assignment was the most time consuming part of this project - gathering the materials (images and music) for the movie. The software was free, and it comes pre-installed on most Windows computers. This software could be used by students and teachers in an elementary classroom. Students can use this software to make their own movies to display their work that they have done in the class. For example, it could be used as a digital portfolio. Teachers can use it to display projects, topics, etc. Using this software, or software similar to it, can help teachers meet ISTE standards by: designing and developing digital works, inspiring student learning, and promoting and modeling digital citizenship and responsibility. Teachers will have to explain and ensure that students are aware of copyright laws and citing their sources, if they use anything that they didn't create. This software will help students learn and understand how to create digital projects that are meaningful to them. This will also help students learn how to integrate technology into projects that they might not otherwise use technology for. For example, students may want to take pictures of art projects that they have done, and create a movie of all their best work. Below is the project that I created using My Movie Maker:
