Learning to be more video savvy! (Video Content Essay)

I really enjoy working on our video assignments. Ever since I started using Windows Movie Maker I have become more confident in creating movies and videos. I have so many ideas I would like to use for the school and my classroom. It's funny though that I'm more comfortable using Windows Movie Maker than iMovie, even though I am a Mac (some are PC's) *chuckle*. Well, I guess one reason is because I never really played around with iMovie. I think I'll try and create a video from that software and maybe I can compare and see which is more user-friendly.

I showed my recently completed video content movie to the Director of our school and she loved it! I am so happy because she said, and I quote, "This is very creative and informative, Diana! You've really captured how the Montessori environment is like in our school. I can't wait for our new parents to see this video." Her comment really made my day *smiles*.

We are going to be celebrating an "International Day" at our school next month and my Director assigned me as the "official videographer". I get to videotape the parade and our international dinner as well as the different cultural presentations. I'm really excited to do this as it is the first time we'll have this event documented. I also get to edit and use Movie Maker to create the final "cut".

Anyway, I'm so glad I decided to choose the MTT program as my specialization. I am learning so much "teachnology-wise" and I am able to apply what I'm learning in my school environment.
