Movie

This week was really fun. I got to use Movie Maker and FreeMusic to make my video. I think that these two programs are really great because Movie Maker has a lot of cool tools like you're able import your own photos. I like the flexibility it has to insert text and change the background. I think that the tools were very simple to use and that it was a lot of fun to go through. FreeMusic was really fun too. They had a variety of music and it was fun going through the list and being able to choose from different sounds. I was expecting just a few genres, but when I got to the website to my surprise, there were a bunch of them and it was something different and fun to look through.

I know that I will use these tools again in the future and be able to apply this into the classroom. I think that these tools are really great for future classroom use because they are simple and I can have my students work with them. I think that students will be able to make videos for themselves as presentations for the classroom. Also, I found the tools really fun because under transitions, they had a variety of different transitions and they were fun to play with. I spent a bunch of time playing with the transitions and also the effects. My favorite part of this activity was the effects, I didn’t end up using any because I wasn’t sure that I wanted to use them, but they were a lot of fun to play with. They had a big list of effects and they were fun and would make a great part of a presentation.
