I'm using media movie. It's not as hard ss I thought it would be. There are a lot of possibilities with this. The students would have fun picking pictures or making videos and selecting music. There is a lot of neat music selections on freeplay music.

I need a LOT of practice! I'm looking forward to playing with it and using it this school year. I have no tips to offer as I am very much a beginning learner! :)

I chose to use windows movie maker. I felt that it was pretty user friendly once I got the idea of how to save pictures and videos to my file on the computer first before starting to import. I figured if I can use this program it shouldn't be too hard for me to use the imac.

I pretty much learned everything new! I have only played a little with iMovie and never with MovieMaker. I worked with only the very basic tools in iMovie, but really liked the process. I am very excited about working with iMovie some more and can't wait to learn more about all that it can do.

I have been making I-Movies of my classes for about 5 years. It is such a cool project. I remember the headaches when I started. There were times that I worked for 20-30 hours and lost everything because of a computer glitch. I learned you save often. It is worth all the time and effort. After 5 years I still have so much to learn.

Something! I learned a tremendous amount yesterday about movie making! I had never even touched movie making software before. Imovie is the software I used to create a movie. In the future hopefully I would like to use movie maker.

I did my movie on iMovie. It was pretty easy to figure out. The thing that I remember is to not put the transitions in until you have all of your images and text put in. It was pretty fun and I would like to play with it some more.

I wanted my pictures to match with my song lyrics. That was not easy. My suggestion is to on your story board get EVERY picture that you will be using before you start. I think if I would have done each picture in order, it would have been a lot simpler. If anyone knows how to keep clips from bumping over when you add something, let me know.

Making movies is not as tricky as I had anticipated but it is hugely time consuming at this point. It will not be very practical for me to do with students but I may be able to use ir to present to students.

This was my first try at movie making. I used movie maker since I have that on my computer and will be able to mess with it more often. I really want to try to make a movie or two this year.

I used movie maker and I liked it better than I-movie from the fall. I need to make a couple of movies for class this year and for football. Both are great avenues for the multimedia.

I used movie maker as I don't currently have access to a Mac at school. This is the same program I used this fall and I had forgotten how quick and easy it was. It took no time at all to get all of my pictures and transitions in place. I definitely want to try and use this program with my students this fall.

I used movie maker to make my video. The drag and drop features weren't to difficult to figure out. I learned how to add audio to my movie. I tried to add audio to my movie in class last fall but it was purchased from itune. Now I know that is not possible to use. Also, I learned how important it is to do the "Finish Movie" step before saving it!
