The i-movie project has definitely been one of my favorite projects this semester because I feel that I learned so much useful information! I loved being able to create a video that I can use to teach my students about something. I know when I was a student in elementary school, I would have been so much more interested in a topic if it had been introduced with a really neat video, so I'm excited to be able to use this in my own classroom someday.

Another aspect of i-movie I really enjoyed was that it's so multi-faceted, meaning that I can use it for a variety of different things in my classroom, not just for videos. I can use it to make a slide show with music behind it for an end of the year party. I could also let my students find pictures on the internet relating to a subject area, and we could put together a slide show with music about a certain unit we have been learning about. The opportunities in i-movie are endless, which is why I enjoyed learning how to use it so much! If you'd like to see the awesome movie we created, click here!

 Learning how to integrate this kind of technology in the classroom is going to be really important for me as a teacher especially because the children that I will be teaching will most likely be even more technologically advanced than me! For this reason, I think it's really important that I not only stay up to date with technology, but also that I use tools such as i-movie to enhance the learning environment of the students that I will one day be teaching.
