Week 3, Thing #7

Hmmm...something technical. How about the difference in using movie software on MAC versus PC. I use iMovie at school to create movies with my AV Club. I am amazed at how quickly the kids pick-up the concepts and create entertaining/educational PSA's for our classrooms. I have given the option to use our one MAC, or using the PC's Window's Moviemaker. The students tend to want to use MAC...it's just that easy. While Moviemaker is relatively easy to use, you are not given the creative room in adjusting volume of music, volume of film clip, or placing several music clips in one video, just to mention a few.

My next quest is to get garageband for the kids to try on the MAC. The only problem is, there just isn't enough time for my club to use these packages to their fullest extent. And we only have one MAC to share.

I'm really enjoying this Web 2.0 and can't wait to share ideas with my teachers!
