Mother's Day is coming up and Maria Meyer (2nd grade at Elda) had a wonderful project idea. She wanted the students to do something special for their mothers. We sat down together and came up with the idea to make a movie of the class talking about their moms. We decided to use iMovie and the built in camera on the computer. Each student took his/her turn recording (well, I ran the computer) a message to mom. The clips are all saved in the same 'event' and will be put together to make a movie. Mrs. Meyer's class is hosting a special event for Mother's Day and the movie will be shown on the projector.
So far, this has been a great experience for the students. They get so excited to see themselves on the computer! They also have really enjoyed watching the clips being replayed back for them. Each student composed a message and either read it out loud or memorized it for the videos. This is a great project for moms but even a better experience for the students! They have learned a lot from watching themselves read on camera!
