[eMINTS] Movie Maker in the ClassroomTRACIE GONES GONEST at branson.k12.mo.usThu Jan 18 15:13:09 CST 2007
I did a Movie Maker workshop at the MORENet conference in October and have my handout on my website: http://www.branson.k12.mo.us/school_links/primary/gonest/MORENet%20conference.htm Most of the handout is how to use MM, but the last page has a chart of ideas for all subject areas. I haven't personally done all the ideas, but there are some for most grades. My 2nd graders have done movies from "how-to" papers. They took pictures of each step and narrated by reading their report. This year we are working on making movies from our animal research reports. They will write the report, find pictures/video to illustrate, and then discuss a current issue or problem for that animal (endangered species, spay/neuter, etc.). The movie will encourage viewers to help their animal in some way. Hope this is helpful! >>> <emints-request at lists.emints.org> 1/18/2007 12:00 PM >>> Send eMINTS mailing list submissions to emints at lists.emints.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.emints.org/mailman/listinfo/emints or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to emints-request at lists.emints.org You can reach the person managing the list at emints-owner at lists.emints.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of eMINTS digest..."

Our training session last night covered Multimedia Projects. I was wondering what others are doing with Movie Maker in your rooms? Are you integrating it into WebQuests or other classroom activities? What types of projects are you doing? This is what I have done - http://www.center.k12.mo.us/edtech/powervocab/index.htm. This was a project where a group of kids would choose a process word. (Analyze, infer, predict, etc.) They define the word in their own terms, solve a problem that requires them to applying the process word, and finally develop a script (with transitions, key vocabulary addressed, etc.) explaining what their word means and the process of applying it in solving a problem. So the video shows all this along with their explanation as they are working through a given problem. The idea with this is that it reaches beyond the basic facts and into the processes for working through problems - including MAP testing. I would love to know what else is being done with Movie Maker in the classroom! Thanks!

Below is a page where I compiled websites from last year to help with MAP preparation and provide resources for teachers. I checked all the links, so they should all work.

We worked in groups of 3-4. Each child researched a branch of government or the constitution. The kids then came together and wrote a script. They used photographs and narrated. The results were awesome! Janette Henry Mill Creek Elementary 5th grade Columbia, MO >>> "Colleen McLain" <cmclain at center.k12.mo.us> 1/18/2007 9:14 AM >>> Good morning!

It would be for grades k-5 and I am just looking for a publisher peole think is good for this. We have harcourt and aren't very pleased. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:31:43 -0600 From: "Julie Fessenden" <JFessenden at hannibal.k12.mo.us> Subject: Re: [eMINTS] science adoption To: <jfrieda at fergflor.k12.mo.us> Cc: General discussion for eMINTS program participants <emints at lists.emints.org> Message-ID: <45AF5A9F0200000E000F88CA at hannibal.k12.mo.us> We don't have a text and as far as I know aren't buying one. We are however order nonfiction readers that meet the science GLE's. There are several reasons for this. One is we noticed students scored lower in nonfiction than fiction on the MAP test. Another reason is that teachers are feeling so pressed to cover math and communication arts that it is easy to skip social studies and science. I don't know if the whole district is buying these or just my building. I'm excited about using them for guided reading, but I'm also looking for resources for activities to meet the GLE's for science so we can do hands-on. I sent a request about this a couple of weeks ago. I just thought I'd share. I know not everyone has the same options, but I think buying the little readers and resources is probably less expensive than many textbook adoptions.
