What is movie-making?
Digital movie-making is the capturing, editing and publishing of digital video content. Digital movies can be created from a combination of digital images (photos, pictures created in Paint/Kidpix), digital video (captured by a webcam, digital video camera or digital still camera with movie capability) and digital audio files (songs/loops in mp3 format).

How can I use movie-making in my school?

 * Students create a short movie presentation to demonstrate their understandings on a topic
 * Students create movie tutorials to assist other students in learning concepts
 * Create a movie from photos of an excursion/camp
 * Capture footage of a guest speaker for students to refer to throughout their unit
 * Create vodcasts to present new information to your students that they can access anytime, anywhere
 * Students prepare short movies to present at assembly on a data projector, instead of verbal announcements
 * Showcase photos and video of school events and classroom activities with a looped movie on display at your front office

Where can I see some examples?

 * Here is an example of how to use [|PhotoStory in Food and Technology classes]. Two samples of a student work using PhotoStory are included, along with a rubric and information provided to the students. The task was for Year 9/10 students to use an existing Year 7 recipe and reproduce the steps using photos. The photos were then put into the program Photostory which could then be projected during the Year 7 practical class
