Expansion on Group 2 multimedia tools- Movie Maker

This reflection expands on from my some earlier post. To view my original posts and examples of work please click on the following links in the next sentence.

Digital learning tools such as window movie maker, podcasting, voki and mobaphoto are fantastic technological resources to use within classroom tasks to engage students in learning activities. These tools link closely together incorporating the use of audio, music, still photos and videos to appeal to those visual and auditory learners. They are all great tools to demonstrate classroom tasks such as teacher instructions and visual demonstrations that are effective and engaging and also easy to review over and over again.

Focusing specifically on one of these tools I believe that movie maker is a beneficial classroom tool as it incorporates aspects from each of these digital tools together in one place. I believe that moviemaker is a fantastic resource to use in the classroom as students are able to create, design and publish pieces of work that they have put together using texts, artwork, photos, videos, voice, and music. Using this tool to its maximum potential however can incorporate the use of other digitals such as podcasting to record and edit audio input. A positive about using moviemaker to deliver classroom instructions is that you only have to explain instructions once and students can re-watch the video if re-clarification is needed, as students are able to pause, rewind and fast forward using this tool to focus on a particular topic area.
