So the first of a series of after-school workshops wrapped up with an amazing example of what can happen when students are given the opportunity to create. The greatest accomplishment of any educational activity is when students become inspired and the learning does not stop at the doors of the school.
iMovie Trailers offer a lot of creative options as you can see from the following examples. Enjoy these examples and please come visit the website - http://icreateilearn.weebly.com/technology-workshop.html to see more.

Copyright and Youtube
In the previous post, I shared my journey of creating a mashup using Haiku Deck and iMovie. After several changes, I uploaded by last video with more upbeat music.
A few hours later I was looking at my video manager on youtube only to find the following:
I was a little stunned to say the least since I spent a good amount of time struggling with the musical choice or lack of in iMovie. Finally I settled on the upbeat music that you can hear in the video. So I quickly defended my video since it has always been my understanding that iMovie jingles are copyright and royalty free.
Here is my response.
As I did more searches, I have found that many youtube videos are being disputed by APM Music. I feel like I have a good understanding of copyright and I find it curious that someone found a video by little old me in less than 5 hours to dispute the sound recording.

Mashing with iMovie and Haiku Deck
I love Haiku Deck and as I was designing our school video, I realized that Haiku Deck could provide something that iMovie couldn't.
As you watch the video, you will realize that I took the picture of the beginning of the video to use in the Haiku Deck. Here are the steps of the Haiku Deck and iMovie Mashup
1. I designed the Haiku Deck using the pictures on my iPad.
2. I exported the Haiku Deck into Powerpoint on my MacBook Pro.
3. I exported the Powerpoint out as pictures.
4. I imported the pictures into iMovie on my MacBook Pro.
5. After each picture, I dragged the video footage to match.
Here is what can be created when mashing two powerful applications.

iPad iMovie Trailers
Next month, several students and I will be leading an after-school course on designing iPad iMovie Trailers. In my search to learn about how to create an iMovie on the iPad, I found some really amazing resources.
Teaching Paradox has a wonderful PDF that can be downloaded to storyboard the trailer.

I didn't know how to use iMovie so I started by going to youtube and searching for instructional videos. I have embedded one of a series of excellent video tutorials by MichaelLcowling that I used to learn.
