Here is a video edit I did of a service learning project that a middle school is involved in. It is unique in that the students are the ones teaching the teachers about technology. It is a great way to infuse technology into classrooms and make it assessable to both students and teachers. By putting students in charge of the teaching, it gives them the opportunity to show how savvy they are with the current technology and guide their teachers through the sometimes daunting task of learning the skills needed to keep up with new advances. It is a great way to begin a service learning project within the school site your at to advance the skills of educators and give students an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and aptitude for technology.
Regarding the editing process in making this clip – I began with Windows Movie Maker, which proved to become very unstable on my computer. After much research, I found that many other people had had similar experiences. System restores, and installations of service packs seemed like the only answer. Unfortunately for myself, none of these answers proved to be a long term solution to preventing the program from continually crashing. I ended up purchasing Pinnacle, a movie maker program that included a converter for mpeg3 and mpeg4, avi, along with a bunch of others. The programs basic features were very easy to use. I still have some feature to figure out, but overall I’m very satisfied with the program.
