Movie Story (Windows Movie Maker)

       I thoroughly enjoyed creating my movie story. I have never created a movie using windows movie maker (or any movie for that matter). I learned how to accurately create a title page, credit page, incorporate transitions and functions, add photos, and insert music for the entire movie. Creating my movie was very difficult at first because I had to figure how to create it as I went along. It was difficult getting the timing with the words, transitions, pictures, and music to all work together and make sense. I had to change things around many times before I made it “perfect” to my standards. Once I completed the movie, I was very proud of my accomplishments. I also enjoyed the assignment because we were able to create a movie about something we were interested in or had meaning to us. I would love to allow my students to create their own story one day in my classroom. I believe this would be a great way to integrate technology in the classroom as well as be an interesting project. This will allow my students to show their creativity, as well as follow project guidelines and learn along the way.

     This assignment met the NETS-T standard one which states that teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Students are able to see the contents of the movie along with connecting to the technology that created it.
