PE1_iMovie


iMovie 
My first thoughts were,  this is TMI!  Too Much Information for me to absorb at one time!  After about the 7th or 8th video, I decided to take notes for later use, because I know that there is "no way" I remember all of this information.  Fortunately the tutorials won't be deleted after completion for I know I will be going back there for assistance real soon! 
              I began using iMovie during the first class at FSO when Dr. Sharon. 
It always took me forever to complete a movie, because I did not take the time to watch the tutorials, therefore my videos were okay but not extraordinary.  After viewing the lesson on adding selections to your project, I have a better understanding of how to navigate in the project library.
I have also learned how to edit the titles of my videos, I did not know this prior to watching the tutorials on Lynda.com. Here is a screenshot after I changed my movie titles:
 
Prior to the tutorials I sort of stumbled upon various aspects of iMovie after I recorded a movie, which prolonged my ability to finalize each project. Even though we stress reading directions and following the prompts with our learners, we as educators sometimes don’t follow our own rules.  Well,  I guess I’m only speaking of myself. (LOL)

  1. You are so right and you speak for a lot of us (me included:), Francine. Sometimes we all have to be reminded that a little time up front can save a lot of time down the road. Great post!
