Last week was a great week to learn about how to make movies using iMovie. As a group we found it fun to think up creative ideas and put it on the big screen. I was the producer of the movie and I had a great time editing after class time, although it was a long process. Maybe it was because I was using an iPad rather than a mac book. Thankfully, my son Brenden assisted me with some of the technical editing like getting the music in the right spot.
Again, it blows me away how much my kids know about technology. Apparently, they make iMovie's in their own classes. I am defiantly excited to be able to have "tech" conversations with them now that I am a little more knowledgeable in the subject.
On that note, as the term comes to an end, I have to say that I have really learned a lot in this ICT class. I am looking forward to implementing some of these tech tasks in my own classroom.

Cool App!
I just found the best app while surfing through Pinterest called "Remind 101"!
The app allows you to keep in touch with students and/or parents via text message without them being able to see your phone number. I think it is a great way to communicate important events or reminders that are going on in your classroom. The best part is that it's FREE!!
Check it out at the App Store. I am totally looking forward to using this is my future classroom.

Picture Editing...
I love the picture editing programs that we were introduced to this past week in ICT. It is awesome that many of these editing programs are free to use which is helpful for educators that want their students to try these tasks. Haiku deck was the program that I chose to use because I could download it onto my iPad. I liked that you can use pictures from the program or your own. The possibilities are endless when it comes to using technology in the classroom.
I am looking forward to performing new tech tasks next week, I only wish that I understood more about technology so it came easier to me.
Slowly but surely I am learning....
Over and out until next time.
