After reading the article about the top five free editing software programs, Microsoft Movie Maker was definitely the one for me. I chose this program for two reasons. One, it was free and the other because it was mentioned several times as being the easiest editing program to use. Yes, indeed, it was very user friendly. I created my movie with video clips, music and narration with minimal problems. I completed my assignment with collaboration from my course partner. I enjoyed creating this movie clip.
I can use this experience as a plus to teach my students how to make a movie for themselves. I can see my third grade students create a movie along with their parents. This would be a great assignment to present at our Spring Open House. I anticipate many parents looking forward to working together with their child and with computers. I always prioritize parents, teachers, and students working together to achieve much student success. This activity would be most appropriate.

Remembering Mom
What an experience I encountered, when I worked on the personal photo story for this course. I really enjoyed seeing my end product. I never get tired of watching it over and over again. I truly believe that this was an awesome opportunity to capture the memorable times I had with my beloved mother. I worked on this project for many hours gathering photos, recording narrations, re-recording, cropping, etc. I was pretty overwhelmed at some point. I was getting frustrated with some of the pictures but at the end it all was worth every minute I worked on the project.
I have learned much and have thought of using this program to develop lessons to use in the classroom. I could create a photo story to expand on the concept of characters in a story. I could create a story to introduce the students to the characters that will be in their reading book. Students will be able to understand personal traits of each character and therefore be able to make inferences, or draw conclusions about what each character will do in the story.
