Brief iMovie Tutorials

iMovie for Classroom Projects 

iMovie is a movie editing software for the Macs.  iPad users can also enjoy the features and tools associated with the iMovie app.  iMovie is a perfect tool for students to use with final classroom projects.  Whatever the content, the iMovie application allows students to present information in a creative format.

YouTube and Edcanvas 

To help teachers and students learn how to complete specific tasks, I created a series of videos that demonstrate basic iMovie tasks in short one to two minute screencasts.  The problem with making a series of short videos that are all connected with a common project is allowing students or teachers to have one link to all eleven videos rather than sending out eleven links.

This is where Edcanvas helps.  Edcanvas can create one web address with several videos all placed in sequential order to access information "just-in-time."  So, with the share button in Edcanvas, I can send everyone a link to these iMovie tutorials through one easy-to-share web address.   I also created a version of using Vimeo rather than YouTube.
