MovieMaker Reflection

MovieMaker is a tool that can be used for many aspects in education. For our project, I used it as a teaching tool. I videoed myself working out an example, uploaded images of a problem as I narrated the steps needed to solve the problem, and finally I have all of the steps written out with motivating music playing in the background. MovieMaker is a great for uploading video to the web for students to access if they are having difficulty at home. It can also be used for homebound students who are unable to be in class. With a video online, they can access the same instruction as my students who are in my classroom everyday. If a student is absent for some reason, they, too, can access the videos so that they do not get behind. MovieMaker can also be used by students to demonstrate their understanding of material. They can produce their own movies and incorporate their own creativity.
