iMovie

=**iMovie in Education**=

Chances are, you have a camcorder, a digital camera, or an iPhone — and maybe all three. That means one thing: You have a ton of great video. iMovie puts it all in one place and organizes it for you so your video is easy to browse and fun to watch. Just plug in your device, open iMovie, and start importing your video. It appears in your Event Library — the one place you’ll find everything you’ve ever recorded. Just like photos in iPhoto, videos are organized by Events. And as your collection grows, you can rate clips as “favorite” or “rejected,” tag them with preset or custom keywords, and filter them so you can find the best scenes (or hide the ones you’re not thrilled with).

Over 800 universities have active iTunes U sites, and nearly half of these institutions — including Stanford, Yale, MIT, Oxford, and UC Berkeley — distribute their content publicly on the iTunes Store. In addition, cultural and education institutions, such as the Library of Congress, public broadcasting organizations, and state departments of education, also contribute to this growing educational content repository that includes over 350,000 free lectures, audiobooks, lesson plans, and more. iTunes U is the ideal resource for educators who want to gain insight into curriculum being taught worldwide, get access to primary resources, and find inspiration for enhancing teaching and learning with technology. Here’s just a sample of the extraordinary resources available for both K–12 and higher education on iTunes U. iMovie to learn and collaborate wtih other educators

Digital video has been instrumental in many areas of education for empowering youth to actively shape their schooling experience. Science, mathematics, and reading instruction is enhanced through digital video by providing excellent and culturally sensitive science instruction by providing teachers insight into culturally held beliefs which run contrary to scientific understanding, by documenting shifts in student thinking from naïve to expert with regard to specific scientific concepts, by providing a lasting record of field trips to local science resources, and by nurturing students development in an intrinsically motivating way. In preparing the next of teachers, we need to take seriously the responsibility of empowering teachers with tools to assist them in their continued professional growth and pursuit of teaching excellence. Preservice teachers should understand the impact digital video can have in placing children's voices in the forefront of educational decisions. Pre-service and practicing teachers alike can easily learn how to incorporate digital video into their classroom instruction through the use of tools like iMovie. Below are four different applications of iMovie used in a single elementary science methods course to prepare future teachers of science.
