Welcome to Melissa Ferry's Technology Presentation!

 * The topic I chose for my presentation is the use of IMovie.IMovie is a video editing software created by and for the use of Apple products. Apple products are becoming more and more popular and many schools are purchasing Apple products such as Ipads and Mac computers. IMovie is a great tool that I have really enjoyed using and learning about. You can upload either photos or videos to IMovie to create videos. IMovie is very user friendly and the end product looks very professional. IMovie can be a great tool in schools. You can create videos with music and sound effects and IMovie files are easy to upload to the internet to share with others.**

**Content uses of this technology:**

 * IMovie could easily be incorporated into the classroom. It is popular among teachers to have their students use IMovie to create commercials or movie trailers. IMovie is a great way for students to present their presentations. They can film their presentation and then watch it in class. This helps with the students who do not do well in front of a class. The many different tools in IMovie really allow students to be very creative and it is a great alternative to poster or PowerPoint presentations. As a Spanish teacher I would love to have my students use IMovie to create commercials about a product in Spanish. There are endless possibilities in the classroom to use IMovie and the students really enjoy creating and watching them. Here is what Apple's website says about using IMovie in the classroom "If students can drag and drop, they can make a movie in iMovie. They’ll start by adding video, photos, and music, then fine-tune their projects with simple yet powerful editing tools. iMovie automatically adds animated titles and sophisticated transitions, transforming raw footage into a video scrapbook, a broadcast news segment, or anything else your class imagines."**

**Pedagogical Considerations for this technology.**

 * IMovie is a way for teachers to incorporate various technologies into the classroom. By having students create iMovies they are using technologies such as digital cameras, video cameras, web cams, microphones, the internet, computers, iPads, iPhones, iPods, and softaware such as iMovie. This software is not just for students teachers are able to use it as well for their lessons or their own presentations. Students and teachers can make projects and presentations come to life with iMovie. It engages the students both while creating and watching the iMovies. The use of iMovie aides in student learning because of it being very hands on.**
