Kidspiration / iMovie

Kidspiration
I really enjoyed using Kidspiration. It was so much fun going through the different learning areas and being able to “listen while I learned”.
I really think my K-3 graders will really enjoy using this program. Not only will this be good for my English learners, but it will be excellent for my visual and auditory learners as far as keeping their attention as they learn their beginning computer skills. Kidspiration would be a great program to use for many class projects. I could have my class do a “Favorites Map” mapping out what their favorite fruits, colors, places, characters, shapes, vegetables, and treats as a “getting to know” project.
I could have my students make holiday decorations through Kidspiration for their families, or I could have my students study marine life, or farm animals, and have them make a map of the different types of animals that go along with each area of study.
iMovie
iMovie was so much fun! As I am just starting to learn the exciting tools through MAC I am having the greatest time creating projects I never thought I would be able to be apart of.
Our class took movie clips from sites on campus and created a movie adding music, rain, shooting stars, and earthquakes to produce a movie of our own. When I look back on our Saturday class as my classmates and I were editing our movie’s, a smile comes to my face as I think about how much fun we were having laughing, making faces with the MAC camera and experiencing new technology we have never experienced before :o)
iMovie would be such a great tool to use in my future classroom. I would love to take a video of my class throughout the entire year of different field trips, class parties, and class projects, and then put together an iMove at the end of our entire year together as a class. It would be amazing to see the growth of my students throughout the school year, and it would be a something they could take from “Miss Black’s” class to have for the rest of their lives….
