Journal 6b iMovie

I really enjoyed working with iMovie. It was a fun and easy way to edit movies for an amateur like myself. It had really easy features, like dragging the clips to the spots you wanted, and being able to stick clips in between other clips you were already using. One thing I didn’t really like is how you couldn’t embed a picture etc into a clip. It seems like you should be able to take a picture or symbol and put it in the movie like you can do in Powerpoint. Other than that though, I thought it was a really fun program and I would definitely use it again.


I’m not too sure how I could use iMovie in a Special Ed classroom. I think it is great software for myself, but think my students would have a hard time with it. If anything, it could be a group project, where some kids could do easier jobs, such as helping film, while the more advanced students could help edit and put the movie together.


I didn’t learn iMovie through Atomic Learning, but just was fortunate enough to be sitting next to someone who actually knew what they were doing. I had a lot of trial and error also which helped me figure things out a bit.
