Movie Maker Experience

This has to be the best thing about my day! I was inspired to make a movie about the Discovery Centre in which I work. The kids were so excited to be a part of it and I can not believe how easy it was to create! I just opened Windows Movie Maker, pasted the photos in and played with the settings. The only thing I didn't do was add music! It wasn't needed for my presentation (the real reason I was making it!) but the kids came back to the Discovery Centre today to watch it - all saying can we do another one. They even started suggesting ideas - a moive about what you can do in the DC, another movie about what books are good and yet another suggesting a tour of the DC! Options are endless! Why was I only ever playing with the MAC!!!

The creating of our own Book Trailers is now a reality. Pity I don't actually teach in the DC space. This will all be done in breaks over the day and this will work really well as it will involve the students who are essentially "switched on" and keen to be a part of this new project. Yes - A NEW PROJECT! Hope my team are ready for me!
