The Big take-away and Complexity of Writing Imovies

           Yesterday, we did iMovie Trailers to present the big take-aways from the course. It was a great way to tap into the creative side of people.  I think that most students would love this type of assignment.  It could be used for introducing a new topic.  Instead of drawing a title page for the topic, you could present the topic on iMovie Trailers. For example, if you were looking at magnets, you could ask student to look for information and images about magnets.  This is a good way to find out what a student knows ahead of time and it may help to spark an interest that may not have been there before.  You also could make great book reviews, using iMovie Trailers.  It gives good oral presentation practice, as well.
          Kathy Schrock reviewed iMovie Trailers and this is what she had to say. http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/blog/2013/08/01/imovie_trailers/ She also included
another good example. Take a look!
           I think that finding solutions in technology before trying other things is the most important thing that I learned from this course.  I just loved what these apps could do!  I look forward to reading your blogs, to see what you thought.

Some questions to ponder;
          How can we ensure that students are getting the technology that they need?
          When is technology a bad thing?
          What do you tell students/parents who feel that one child is given an advantage over another, when we give assistive technology to one student and not the others?
           Are iPads, accessible to everyone yet?  If not, who is left out?
Also, don't forget, It is Nelson Mandela Day.  So I leave you with this quote;
