Hi Friends,
It has been one of "those" weeks! In class we needed to complete projects for Open House while conducting one on one benchmark testing with each K/1 student. On top of that, a nasty illness had most of out at different times, and our chicks hatched over the period of a couple of days. Needless to say, teaching a new application, then having exploration and project time with the Notability App. did not fit in! We did however, explore the iMovie Trailers and made a P.E. Instructional video using it.
Here is the link to the trailer in Dropbox:

The for the project objective was for first graders to choose a specific movement to teach the kindergarteners. We then filmed them acting it out and put all of the still images, video and text into the format. iMovie trailers make it really easy and there are lots of options for style.
I didn't find the this trailer to be the best one to show the moves because the clips were too short, but we loved the theme for a P/E. Movie. Another trailer may have been doable. I would probably try a straight iMovie filming project and add some fun background music for this particular project next time.
Some notes about sharing iMovie Appprojects that I learned are:
• You can share projects to Vimeo, YouTube, and iTunes. I had trouble figuring out where it was in my iTunes, although it supposedly an option. With students in the videos, the others didn't seem like a good idea, even though they have media release forms.
• You can also share to your Camera Roll in various sizes, then email. This short trailer was too long to email, so I'm not sure that would work for most projects.
• I finally shared the project from the camera roll to my dropbox, then I could supply you with the public link above.
Hopefully that information will save you some trouble if you try this out!
I'll be back soon with some more iPad App. projects!
Best,
Lenora
