Public service announcements have been around forever. It is
incredible what an impact 30 seconds can have. Using video in
education has been around for a long time, but it is just in recent
years that it has become simple for classroom teachers and
children to create and edit their own educational videos. The
Apple Learning Interchange gives multiple examples of using
educational video for teaching content standards.You'll want to
review the project descriptions for this project. We will use iMovie
for editing. iMovie HD is the software available in the iLife suite on
Macintosh computers. PCs have a similar software called Movie
Maker 2.0 -- but it is not as easy to use in its existing version.
Today you'll learn the ins and outs of the software. We will edit
video during the next 2 class meetings.
