The students in Ashley Marshall’s 3rd Grade class have been researching Mali and wanted to present what they had learned in a new way. They used their research material to write scripts for their group. Then they selected pictures from Britannica and Virtual Share to use as the backdrop for different scenes in their script. Ashley and I introduced the class to the green screen feature on PhotoBooth and they spent the following week recording each of their clips. The completed clips were then moved into their student folder so that the students could easily access them to create their finished product in iMovie.
For our next lesson, we used iMovie and the students pulled in all of their Photobooth clips and added transitions and titles. Once their videos were exported, the teacher put them on Vimeo so they wouldn’t take up so much space on her blog. Check out some of the final products!
