Welcome to Kindergarten iMovie!

Here is my first iMovie called "Welcome to Kindergarten"

I got the idea to do this video because I am going to be interning in a Kindergarten classroom this upcoming school year. I thought as a teacher I could show this video to my students on the first day of school. The video is basically an overview of what you do in kindergarten, like an introduction video for the kids. I did not do subtitles because, obviously, most Kindergarteners cannot read. So although I have not yet narrated the video, I would narrate it explaining in Kindergarten you meet your teacher, meet your friends, learn to read, etc.

I think that making digital stories could be used in elementary school. I'm sure you could get your students to make their own movies (maybe in groups), but I almost see myself making a movie as a class, together. Maybe the class could chose a subject they have been learning about and as an end assessment the class as a whole makes a video. The students could narrate or write captions showing their understanding of the material.

I like making movies and I thought iMovie was OK. However, it is time consuming. I am kinda interested in making a movie of some personal things like Thanksgiving with my family or pictures from vacations!
