Wow! I just learned some great editing tricks in iMovie! Incorporating photos into the video and the different options for doing so was very interesting. As I watched that section of the tutorial, I thought about news segments where the news anchor is shown on the screen, either with a picture or video playing in the corner of or in place of their screen shot.

Check out the options on the drop down menu.

Oh, the things my students and I could do with iMovie in the computer lab! I'm now wishing I had iMovie at my school to use with my students. I can imagine them using it to produce school news casts to upload to a class blog and/or school website. Or better yet, I can have the students contribute ways to use the iMovie and its features for academic purposes. If I can get my hands on one Mac for student use, maybe I can form a small after school club of 8th grade students to produce videos for a student created digital yearbook, where I can share my newly acquired knowledge. The possibilities are endless. I think I'm rambling now, so I'll try to contain my excitement...until the next post! ;o)
