MovieMaker

MovieMakers are a fun, easy and free tool to use. I quickly created this short movie to give a basic example of what the program 'MovieMaker' allows you to do. In the classroom context, students could view previously made movies by the teacher as a hook to engage the learners. Whilst this is occuring students could write down notes or dot points on the movie and the lesson could expand from there. Some positives of using 'Movie Maker' in an educational setting.

POSITIVES
- it is free
- can be used to engage students or a hook
- relatively easy to use
- is a greate and effective assessment task idea
- provides stimulation for visual and auditory learners
- allows students to synthesise their ideas by gathering information and displaying it through one presentation
- could be used as a hook

NEGATIVES
- may be difficult to use in large classes because their are many functions that need to be learned
- teachers need to be careful that it has relevance to what the students have been learning.
- risks students drifting off task
