iMovie

I created this video as a mini-tour of Cades Cove (a part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park).

iMovie is a tool that you can use to piece together photos, videos, sound, and other elements to create videos. Videos are great additions to standard curriculum, which can draw the interest of your students. I decided to create a mini-tour of Cades Cove, a part of the Great Smoky Mountains. This can be used as a virtual field trip that shows the highlights of Cades Cove. This video would be a great supplement to environmental lessons, sections about national parks, or any other nature and wildlife lessons. One other way I might use a video in my classroom is for an ABCs video. This could include slides for each letter with images that relate to that letter. I really did enjoy the process of creating my first video. I didn't know that it would be so easy as it was. I do wish I had used more than one sound clip, which I will try next time. I also think it would be interesting to narrate the slide I had text on. It would be useful for younger kids, who may have a hard time reading quickly. So that it something to try in the future.
