Presentation 2 - iMovie

For this exercise, I decided to develop this short presentation about the American bison:


I thought that this was another cool exercise. All in all, making the video was pretty simple although it was a lengthy process. It took me a little while to figure out what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. While I thought that through, I downloaded a bunch of photographs that looked like they might be useful. In the end, the hardest thing for me to do was to record the voice-over portions of the movie without sounding like a moron. I totally failed at improvising from a few notes and ended up writing out a script for the whole presentation. I don't think it sounds too bad.

Relationship to Standards - the iMovie Presentation exercise relates well to the following standards:   1(b) in that the effective use of iMovie will allow teachers to develop engaging presentations to help  students in exploring real-world issues using digital tools and resources; 2(a) in that educators can use iMovie to design relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools to promote student learning; and 3(b) in that the combined use of iMovie and YouTube allows collaboration with students, peers, and parents using digital tools to support student success.
