Art Teaching with a touch of Technology

Spinner on Green Screen Sometimes you want to create digital effects for a movie, but... you just do not have any fancy software to create your video effect. Well, if you have a mac, you might be able to create something that may meet your needs... in Keynote and iMovie.  Basic Mac apps from Apple. Here is my Video Tutorial, broken down into small parts. There may be other applications for doing this method.  If you have ideas about how you might use this, add it to the comments section!

At the Pangyo Elementary School, 3rd graders have been working in teams to create 'Mission Briefings' about Planets in our Solar System. Students needed to use traditional and Internet researching methods, team collaborative creativity, and the iPad to make their mission video. Teachers, like Annette Welpman, have invited Edtech Specialists to their class, to assist them with the technology.  But, as the students became accustomed to the technology, the creativity began to flow.  Students quickly adapted to the new technology, and were able to nearly independently, create their mission briefing. I assisted Annette and her students, for their first time using the iPads in a group project.  This was a rewarding experience for the students, the teacher, and myself.
