iMovie Ideas for my classroom:

>
 * Digital storytelling -- take pics or draw illustrations and record a story
 * Create "book trailers" or book reviews
 * Story retell
 * Create documentaries, historical reenactments, and news reports on current events
 * Demonstrate understanding of math concepts by taking pictures and putting them into a video (for example: Find circles in the classroom, put them into a slideshow in iMovie OR act out a story problem and voice over the words)
 * Create a Top Ten list…..(ex: Top Ten reasons I love Spring, Top Ten reasons Dogs make a great pet - opinion writing tie in)
 * Podcasts - Audio with a photo background. - Link to Mrs. Mathes Kansas Day "podcasts" @http://mrsmathes.blogspot.com/2013/02/kansas-day-podcasts.html
