For the last two weeks we were creating a public service announcement and I must admit it was a great experience. I never used movie maker, or any other sites before to create something and let alone put it on YouTube. I had so much fun making the video but also deleting and adding title pages, music, and a credit page. I seriously felt like a film editor on a major production. I thought this project was a great learning experience, because not only did I learn how to create a short clip, I also have a basic knowledge on how to teach my students. Having the students create a short clip will give them the experience to do something new. In this day and age, the majority of people use the computer and this is a new way to express a certain topic.
Creating a short clip will get all your students involved and participate in the project. Making a video clip, can be comical, serious, informational and more. I can't wait to be able to use movie maker in my classroom.

I agree, I think having students make short clips will improve their learning. Not only are they learning the subject at hand but also how to use technology. I am glad that we had the chance to learn these things, so that we are able to include them in our classroom when the time comes. All of the things that we learn in this class will come in very handy when we get a classroom.
