Phase Six - An Update On My ImagineIT

​
My ImagineIt project is slowly starting to evolve. I am still trying to discover what the students can do with video.  In the past few weeks I have introduced students to iPads and iMovie.  I provided a very basic introduction to video recording and editing using iMovie.  I gave the students a simple project to complete in the scope of an hour.  I wasn't expecting much on the creative side, as my focus was to get students to work together within the a short time frame.  I was glad to see that the students were able to accomplish the goal of creating videos by planning, creating, and collaborating together.  With that said, the next stage is to get students to think more artistically about the presentation.   

There are also challenges that I have to consider.  First, the video that they caputure is on a shared iPad.  I have to develop a plan on to save the work that the have done and make sure other groups are not compromising their classmates projects.  I also need to start considering the topics for the videos.  I might have students remake a commercial they like.  I would also like to give students more choice as to the setting of their videos.  As it stands, students have only had the ability to film within the range of my classroom.
