iMovie iPad apps

shared by Michele Mathieson on 08 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • 1. Start an iPad iMovie by clicking the “+” icon at the bottom of the screen.
  • 2. Click the video window to show available videos on the iPad. These are videos which have been saved to the Photo Roll. Click the arrow on a video to insert it into your project where the playhead (the red line) is positioned.
  • 3. Note as videos are inserted into a project, iMovie for iPad adds a yellow border around them in the video library. This makes them appear different from other videos so you can identify ones not yet imported into the project. (They won’t have a colored border around them.) Also notice the total time of the imported video is shown at the end of the last clip.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • 4. Click the settings icon (it looks like a gear) in the upper right corner to choose a theme for your project. My favorite is the CNN iReport theme, since it allows you to show your location as well as a project title at the start of your video.
  • 5. To “split” a clip into two parts, first drag the clip so the playhead (red line) is on the spot where you want it split. Think of a split like you are cutting the video into two pieces with a virtual knife. Click on the clip ONCE to select it. It should be highlighted in yellow when selected.
  • 6. Next, swipe your finger down, across the clip over the red playhead line. This will split the clip into two pieces.
  • 7. Double click a clip to make changes to the settings for it. These include setting a title, a location (used in the opening title of the iReport theme) and adjusting the clip’s audio level. Individual clips can also be deleted from this menu.
  • 8. Select the Title Style and choose the desired option. Color and formatting differences apply to different title styles. The iReport theme includes three styles for the opening, middle and ending of the video.
  • 9. Text can be entered for each title style by touching the “Title Text Here” area in the video preview window. Text will resize automatically to fit in the space provided.
  • 11. Click the MY PROJECTS tab at the top of the screen to return to the starting menu for iMovie for iPad. Click the title to change it as desired.
  • 12. Individual clips can be trimmed by clicking on them once to select them. This will reveal “trimming handles” which look like dots above the starting and ending points of a clip. Drag these trimming handles to the left or right to shorten or lengthen a clip as desired.
  • 13. Transitions are automatically inserted between different clips in your iMovie. Click on the transition icon between clips to modify it. By default a cross-dissolve transition is used.
  • 14. When you are finished editing and ready to publish your project, click the MY PROJECTS tab at the top to return to the home screen. Then click the publish icon at the bottom of the screen, which looks like a box with an arrow on it. Select the desired location for sharing.
  • 15. Enter the desired title, description, category and tags for your video. Additionally, choose the size to share (large is recommended) and the privacy settings.
  • 16. Click SHARE in the upper right corner. Your video will now EXPORT into a compressed format
  • 17. After your video is published, iMovie will display a screen with the option to TELL A FRIEND. If you select this option, you can email yourself the direct link to your video.

Essential Questions Curriculum Design

shared by lisacetroni on 09 Oct 12 - Cached
  • Our students need a curriculum that treats them more like potential performers than sideline observers
  • Essential questions “keep us focused on inquiry as opposed to just answers” (124).

    This article speaks to me about EQ's. Do you feel the same?

    I like the idea that there is no definitive answer to a well crafted essential question. That depending on where/when/whom it is asked, the answer will always be different.
  • Andrea Corbin on 09 Oct 12
     
    I see there is a lot of confusion or disagreement about what a good essential question is.
  • Andrew Brennan on 09 Oct 12
     
    The EQ reminds me how a curious learner might approach a topic or subject. As they learn more they can still ask the same question. It's not about mastery but about the joy of research, inquiry, thinking, deducing or inferring and all driven by the EQ.
  • Kayla Carter on 09 Oct 12
     
    As I read this article, I found that it connected project-based learning and EQ's together. It emphasized the importance of general questions that require inquiry, thought, and group discussions. It makes me want to look at my unit and come up with one-two over arching questions, and put them up in the classroom. Throughout the unit, I would reference the question and as we learned/discovered more about our topic of study, the students would be able to dig deeper and deeper into the EQ. (Just like project-based learning, where students are given problems and work to find a solution over time). By the way, I am pretty sure that I own the book that was referenced in this article. If anyone wants to borrow it, please let me know.
  • Jenny Kirkland on 09 Oct 12
     
    I find Wiggins and McTighe's views thought provoking. I've read some of their book...Understanding by Design. The framework they use is backwards. They recommend beginning with the essential questions which link to the understanding, then determine the assessment, and lastly develop your activities. I like this idea...it forces the designer to focus on the understandings and essential questions throughout the entire design process. I would like to keep my focus on my essential questions and what I want my students to truly understand.
  • Anna Helsby on 09 Oct 12
     
    I think this article reflects the importance of learning through inquiry and exploration that many of us value, especially as teachers of younger learners. The idea of an essential question being something pointed but allowing for a lifetime of thought or study is one that I'm sure many of us would hope our essential questions might capture. However, I struggle to visualize how this would look in a first grade classroom. When would we share these questions with our students, or would we not? Are these questions for us to build our lessons around or are they something we would like our students to attempt to answer in a concrete way at some point during a unit? Must they be subject specific or are there more general lines of inquiry that could be applied across the curriculum? I would be interested to read examples of effective essential questions that fall within this description that have been used with younger students, and what kind of learning this has led to.
  • kathleen dubovsky on 09 Oct 12
     
    Parts of the article made me want to reread dewey and eisner.....there is a great quote from eisner about viewing as curriculum not as something to be covered....makes me wonder what it would be like to have some large essential questions for the whole school..... And then more narrowed ones for each class..... Creating life long learners should be our goal.....i always find it disheartening when i ask students at the end of the unit of study what they are still wondering and they write "nothing"..., then i feel that i have not taught well.... But then maybe as the article states we feel that we shouldnt have questions at the end of a lesson....we have been "trained" to think that sitting through a lesson should answer all of our questions answered, when in fact the opposite is true. Sorry for the lack of punctuation and upper case letters, but i am wedding prep exhausted.
  • Michele Mathieson on 10 Oct 12
     
    I like the concept that education "is not about learning the answer but about learning how to learn". I also like the idea of having the students try and personalize the questions, trying to relate the essential questions to their lives and experiences or ideas they have had.

    Grant Wiggins is considered the guru of Essential Questions. Does this article confuse or clarify?
  • Karen LeMaire on 09 Oct 12
     
    We liked the question "How do the best writers hook and hold readers?" as a possibility for generating discussion that connects mentor texts with student writing in Writing workshop. We think the above question could also be used in RLA. Lisa posed the question "What makes a story good?" at the beginning of the year in her third grade RLA class. Karen and Lisa think both are possibilities for overarching questions that may help our students make significant connections between what they read and what and how they write. ( Lisa Keeler and Karen LeMaire worked together because Lisa forgot her iPad.)

    I totally disagree with this guy. He seems fearful of something, I just can't pinpoint what it is. Sure, there are kids that like structure and boundaries, I think all kids do, but he seems to be advocating mindless, thought-less assignments that are "safe," but lack any kind of meaning or thought. My two cents.
  • john russell on 03 Apr 13
     
    I wonder how many of the responses he got from student surveys reflect his own biases. Is he projecting these attitudes on his students in the way he is structuring the evaluation process?

    This is helpful. I love reading all of the sample projects... Especially the variety of culminating final presentations (definitely authentic and doable!). Also, thinking about how one question guides weeks of study makes me wonder how this would mesh with our spiraling Everyday Math curriculum.
  • Christina Storslee on 14 Feb 12
     
    I agree--I enjoyed looking at the different sample projects. I did a lot more PBL when I taught 5th and 6th grades, and I feel like I haven't been quite as successful with it in 1st grade, so it was great to see some of the types of things that might be really great for 1st graders. Caitlin, I love how you mentioned math as well. One idea I had wanted to try a few years ago was writing a complex problem that we could spend the year working on, one that in order to solve, the students would need to figure out what they needed to learn, but it would lead us to the topics and the basics that are part of the regular curriculum anyway--it would just be more student directed. I never actually tried it, though. Something like this, though, or trying to integrate math through PBL, means making some changes to the EM curriculum that we currently use.
  • Heidi Bennett on 14 Feb 12
     
    I LOVE all of the ideas! The one about first graders exploring a suitcase from long ago to ask questions and create a video sounds like it could fit right in with our curriculum. As I mentioned in another post, I think we will need to be mindful of how we integrate PBL into our curriculum with the younger students, because their exposure can be quite different from one another. I feel some content introduction and base knowledge would need to happen before diving into these projects, but I fear it may become "dessert" rather than the main course.
  • Sallie Reeves on 14 Feb 12
     
    To echo what Mary stated, our moon unit is a great example of project based learning in kindergarten. The framework is set but each year it changes quite a bit with each new group of students. The students and their specific interests in the moon and space guide our instruction. I think we will definitely use the ipads to enhance what we already do for this unit. I would like to try project based learning with more units of study.
