Digital Storytelling: iMovie Workshop

Welcome Ron!

Today Ron will be helping us learn how to use iMovie. Here is his iMovie08 Tutorial.

For reference, or while you’re waiting for class to start, check out some digital stories from past students:

5th grade mathematics
High School Chemistry
Special Education

Just a reminder: Friday, October 5 and Monday, October 8 are workdays and attendance is optional. I will be in the lab to help you with your video. Please plan to attend if you need support on your project or access to the lab. If you have missed 3 days of class, this will count as a “make-up” day since attendance is optional. You are also welcome to turn your project in earlier. (See directions for posting on your site below).

Your digital story is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, October 10. Please review earlier blog posts for specific requirements for the project.

Directions for Submitting Work

Here are the directions for submitting your work. Please make sure NOT to wait until the last minute!!

  1. Create a Creativity and Innovation page on either your Google site or Blogger.
  2. On that page, write a short description of your story.
  3. Follow these exporting directions:

Here’s how to add your video to your Creativity and Innovation page (it depends on what tool you chose):

iMovie and MovieMaker: Follow these directions (iMovie is similar to Movie Maker – these will be in the files from Ron) to upload your movie to YouTube.

Then, copy the url for your movie in YouTube, open your digital storytelling page, select “Insert” from the dropdown menu, then select “YouTube video” and paste the YouTube url in the provided textbox. This will embed your movie directly on your digital storytelling page.

 

You’ll use original still images or video that you’ve captured for your story. If you want to use photos from the internet, make sure you are using creative commons images that allow you to copy and use. Cite your sources if you are using them from other locations. If you don’t have access to a digital camera or video camera and you’re in the Athens area, you can check them out from OIT in ROOM 232, Aderhold. The checkout is for 5 days and you’ll need your Student ID to sign them out.

For Wednesday:

1. Continue working on your digital story. During Wednesday’s class, we will have Ron back with us to talk about using Movie Maker.

2. Digital Stories are due Wednesday, October 10.
