Open source video editing software and audio editing software are two terms that I was not comfortable with before this week. Thanks to this program, Animoto and Photostory 3 are the only programs of this nature that I have recently worked with. This assignment asked us to go online, research, and choose a free video editing program to explore, use, and teach to someone else through the use of a podcast. Upon investigating for a free video editing program I was overwhelmingly surprised at the magnitude of programs available. After some discussion with my partners I decided to use Windows Movie Maker, Mary Johnson chose this program also, and Jeanette King chose Windows Live Movie Maker. This decision, for me, was based on the user friendly style and the fact that it was included with my operating system. As we collaborated on this project we discovered a key difference in Movie Maker and Live Movie maker was the disappearance omission of the timeline.
I enjoyed working with my partners to create my tutorial and now I understand why my students like working in collaborative groups. In the process of creating the podcast I also became more familiar with the importance of file extensions. The two file extensions used for my assignment were .wmv and .mp3. I can’t wait to have my middle school science students dive into this program and start creating some exciting projects. Garrison (1999) stated, “integrating media production in your curriculum can help find new access to students and help them find new access to the material” (p.1). Engaging and teaching students with these types of programs, I believe, is the key to giving them a voice and ownership of their own learning and therefore creating life-long learners.
