New Tech Stuff

This week we learned in class how to create film clips using Windows Movie Maker. Some people are going to enjoy this project, while others are going to feel as though it is a chore. I'm probably going to ride the fence on this one. I see the benefits of knowing how to do it. It will allow me and my class to make fun videos to show off to parents on parent visitation night or open house. It will also provide me with the knowledge necessary to help my future students make their own movies to do projects or to develop the skills to teach others these skills. On the other hand, it's going to be difficult to familiarize myself with the program, after playing with the software for a couple hours now I'm exhausted and frustrated. Welcome to the 21st Century classroom experience, right?
