Since I am a musician and a Choral Music Teacher, I was excited to find that iMovie had a tool that you could add photos to the beat of the music.  This is so cool!  So I know that you know that is what I submitted as my Movie for my blog!    Watching my photos "pop" up to the beat of the music awesome!  Hope I get this right.  ENJOY!!!!

If I couldn’t resolve an issue that I was having with iMovie, I would go and search Lynda.com for a tutorial.  But I would have never gone through the entire tutorial on my own.  Thanks Rena for requiring us to watch this tutorial in its entirety

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)
