Students Learn How to Create iMovie Trailers on the iPad

Since the class learned how to do iMovie on the computers on their field trip to the Apple Store, I wanted to teach them how to do iMovie trailers on their iPads.  The students each chose a familiar picture book.  Their task was to create iMovie book trailers.  (The eventual goal is to publish these trailers and to create QR codes for each trailer. The students will then put the QR codes in the school and classroom libraries so other students can listen and watch their movies.)  The students needed some time just to explore all the trailer options (theme- format/soundtrack/font/etc.) to see what was available (and to get "playing" out of their system).  After a few minutes of exploring the themes, they each selected a theme and worked on taking photos and videos to add to their book trailers.  They have been working on the typing and having peers edit their trailers before finding a teacher or adult to help edit spelling and grammar.  We will post the iMovie book trailers soon!
