Finishing iMovie

Today we were finishing up our iMovie projects. We discovered that in sharing our device with another class that our movie was deleted.  We must have forgotten to log off.  It is a good lesson for us.  Now, we are refilming but because we are doing it again, it will be better the second time around.  We know what mistakes we should correct.  We also picked a new background.  Stay tuned...

Using the Broadcast Studio

We are continuing to work on our iMovie projects. Many groups are using a green screen. The advantages to doing this is that you can add a backdrop and custom sounds. SO, what do you think about our project?

How Do You Use Windows Movie Maker?

We are continuing to work on our projects with iMovie. I have figured out that in iMovie you can add and take away video clips by clicking just two buttons. You can add music and pictures just as easy. You can record with it too and you can cut out parts of videos and much, much more. We think it is funny that we are using iMovie to make a movie about Windows Movie Maker. They are both the default movie-making programs on Windows and Mac software. We are learning two tools at once!

Techno Questions

Today in technology we are working on our script for solving how things work. For example, our group is trying to discover how Google works. We are still trying to solve it. So far, we have researched Google by googling Google. We discovered Googleguide.com. We found out that Google uses these things called Google Bots and they search the whole web for information and pages that relate to your topic. Also, Google uses something called Page Rank and it ranks the pages based on the most accurate and the most viewed. We have lots to discover and are continuing to do so!

Researching Technology Questions

Today in technology we are going to research technology questions. My favorite question is "Why did they invent the Internet?". After we learn more about our questions we get to make an iMovie! I can't wait to show the class my iMovie. We can learn so much more from this project.

Project Based Learning

Today in Technology we started researching about our topic. It was really interesting to find out about what we wanted to know. Using Google Docs, we started researching the answers to our questions. In our research, we are being careful to document our sources so that when we create our movies, we can give credit. I`m really excited to work on it more tomorrow.
