Hi Brian,<br />
I'm a tech integration teacher at Singapore American School.<br />
Here's a few examples of a project some of my 5th graders recently did with Moviemaker: <a href="http://bit.ly/6BzY1i" target="_blank"></a><br />
and here's a Photo Story project I did with 4th graders: <a href="http://bit.ly/5SwVrS" target="_blank"></a><br />

Hope this helps! Your jobs sounds great, btw.<br />

Hi - I have worked with Julie at FreeplayMusic.com before, and I know she will arrange for something for your class that your school can afford. She will write you a blanket licence based on your projected use, and you don't have a lot of work to do on the back end, just make certain that somewhere there is a reasonable credit for the music used and the composer. It's good form to teach this anyhow, and it is not difficult. I always ask my students to include credits in their movies, and they…
Hi - I have worked with Julie at FreeplayMusic.com before, and I know she will arrange for something for your class that your school can afford. She will write you a blanket licence based on your projected use, and you don't have a lot of work to do on the back end, just make certain that somewhere there is a reasonable credit for the music used and the composer. It's good form to teach this anyhow, and it is not difficult. I always ask my students to include credits in their movies, and they document time spent in various production roles in the production log. The log provides something concrete to build assessment opportunities with, and the credits rolling at the end of the movie is a goal that they all want to work towards. Hi Brian:

Hi Brian:<br />
<br />
I love using Movie Maker with my students. The possibilities are endless for integration and I find that students engage far more readily and authentifcally in media deconstruction exercises when they are participating from the director's chair!<br />
<br />
That said - have you started running into difficulties with the new Live Movie Maker that is available as a download for Windows 7? MM is no longer included in the MS OS, and Live Movie Maker ( released as the only version for Windows 7) is…
Hi Brian:<br />
<br />
I love using Movie Maker with my students. The possibilities are endless for integration and I find that students engage far more readily and authentifcally in media deconstruction exercises when they are participating from the director's chair!<br />
<br />
That said - have you started running into difficulties with the new Live Movie Maker that is available as a download for Windows 7? MM is no longer included in the MS OS, and Live Movie Maker ( released as the only version for Windows 7) is awkward and stripped of basic construction/production fuctionality. The timeline is gone, you can no longer edit clips in time to music etc...<br />
<br />
The other issue I have run into is that there is no backward copatability in the product. If a student uses MM6 or Live at home, they cannot save the file at home in such a way that we can edit the file or work on it at school. This poses a challenge, becasue the schools will never be caught up to the home user level of "currency of release", and students and parents alike find it hard to understand why I cannot find a way to open the students work.<br />
<br />
We also could not display files from Live Movie Maker correctly on the instructional display station.<br />
<br />
What have you done to work around these issues? I am concerned about the longevity of MM as a classroom tool with the gutting of the product in the latest release. (and just as we were getting somewhere!!!)<br />

I am not the one who did this, however I did see a teacher create a claymation math activity using digital camera and movie maker. It was fantastic. The claymations had to teach a short activity dealing with measurement.

Wow....I'm so happy to pass on my success with teaching my teachers about movie maker and photo story. Usually, they get overwhelmed about making a story., but you want to get them up and running (successfully) as quick as possible. So, I ask my teachers to tell me a story in 3 pictures, then they can add graphics, sound, etc in photo story and viola...done and fun!<br />

When I taught movie maker, had about 25 teachers, gave them all "web 2.0" words, they had to find the definition in wikipedia - then they had to pair up in groups of three (this can be funny to see what words they think belong together!) then, they create a video in movie maker to demonstrate understanding of the three words, they work together in 3s and at the end, all of the videos are shown and they all understand about 24 words, from RSS to synchronous...if you want a copy of the words I used, I'd be happy to supply!<br />

Your link took me to kidzbop - perhaps you meant this site<br />
<a href="http://kidsvid.altec.org/">kidsvid.altec.org</a> - we do a video production class in our middle schools, and the teachers have used this resource site.
