Adjusting the level of ambient sound, importing sound from other areas of the video, and adding sound effects, adding movement to still shots, and using a green screen are also notable features I am excited to use in future videos. I LOVE I-MOVIE!!

Here is my completion certificate!!

YAY!!! I can hardly wait until I can use what I have learned!

Learning to add picture in picture to my videos will definitely prove helpful when creating my videos from now on. Switching between picture and picture and the regular video is also an awesome feature. I am excited to use these in my next video.

I loved the IMovie training on lynda.com. I had figured out a lot of it when working on previous projects,  but there was so much more to learn from archiving pictures and videos straight from the camera, to advanced actions like 

picture in picture

.

During this point of the training, I learned about adjusting transitions so none of the video gets lost. When working on one of my videos for the EDMT program, I became extremely frustrated because I could not keep from losing part of the video before a transition. Now I know how to put in transitions without losing any video!

I really liked using Toondoo!
Thank you Jenney for reminding me of it again!

BP4_2.0_tools

This 2.0 tool will be very useful in my fourth grade classroom. My class is currently working on a service learning project to make others aware of pollution and how it affects the oceans and our lives. One of the activities they will be participating in is going to 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms to teach them about pollution, what causes it, and what they can do to help prevent it. They were going to use Microsoft Publisher to create brochures to hand out, but, after trying out this software, I will have them use it to create and print out their anti pollution books to be distributed to the smaller children. I think the books will prove much more successful than the brochures.

The front and back can be tastefully designed, and 2-6 pages in between can be filled with information and illustrated by the student.  

This can be a very useful tool.
