iMovie Workshop

I attended the iMovie workshop on October 6th at the C.W. Post campus. Before the workshop, I really wanted to learn the ins and outs of the program. I want to be be able to create fun slideshows and edit video easily and without hassle. The program isn't as easy as I thought it. It is time consuming and somewhat confusing. I hoped to learn a lot, but the time permitted for the workshop was insufficient. I believe if the instructors provided video clips to us instead of the us using time to make video, we would have saved a lot of valuable work time. Learning how to video could be a separate workshop. We really didn't discuss much about the program. I did learn one or two tricks so when I continued to pursue the program on my own I was able to figure some things out. I guess I just wanted to be more efficient when using the program. I am going to try and upload my iMovie I completed today. It took me a long time for a very short movie. Enjoy...it's my family having a corn eating contest as a goof!

Google Documents

I'm currently using Google documents with my Living Environment class. This class is a very small class in the Shelter Rock Academy part of Herricks High School. With my assistance, the students are collaboratively designing an experiment which they will eventually carry out in class. Here is the link to the students' experiment and the progress they have made so far: My students' google documents experiment
