Movie Story - A Love Story By Robin Jeffrey

We have been working on making movies using the software, Movie Maker. It was a "no brainer" that I would make my movie about me and Tony, the most wonderful man in the world. Since I am computer challenged, I got off to a rough start. After getting many pictures from friends and family, I transferred them to a thumb drive. I used these pictures to make a movie of me and Tony. The pictures flow through the movie and shows us at various places where we have been in the past 3 and 1/2 years. I enjoyed making my movie, and I think this would be beneficial in the classroom in many ways. The students could learn how to make a movie and post it on the web. The teacher could make a movie that starts at the beginning of the school year, and by adding more content during the school year, the teacher can show it to the students at the end of the school year to show the students how much they have changed. Teaching students about movie making ties to the ISTE standard to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. It ties to the ISTE Standard to design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments, and the ISTE standard to model digital age work and learning, and the ISTE Standard to promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility. It ties to the common core standards of integration of knowledge and ideas, production and distribution of writing, research to build and present knowledge, comprehension and collaboration, and presentation of knowledge and ideas.
