Note Card Confession
Created a note card confession for this weeks project. I found it to be an interesting way of putting ones thoughts out there. Some of the steps I found to be challenging. Some people may find getting a mp3 with no words on it easy, well that took me around two hours to figure out. Putting the actual video together was easy and iMovie is super user friendly to use. Editing the video along with the sound and then uploading it to YouTube was fairly easy. I think the video turned out pretty good for an amateur with this type of technology. I am not sure I would use a note card confession in my class for a project. This is something that I have always associated with sad events and I am not sure that is something that I want portray in my classroom. History and social studies have enough sadness in them without having to evoke any extra feelings through something like a note card confession. The actual process of learning how to use technology and get everything to work together was a pretty good challenge for me. Overall I do not have any complaints about how the apps worked. I like many of the features that iMovie offers such as the filters for video and how you can alter the music to make it fade out instead of just cutting off sharply. I can see iMovie being very useful in the classroom with many applications to expand on learning subject material.
