Educational Uses and Ideas

This website is designed as an educational resource for developing educational videos using iMovie by Macintosh. I am interested in sharing a process used in an educational environment that facilitates learning academic content and makes DV manageable. It provides a variety of strategies as you begin integrating this technology into your own situation. As with most classroom resources , educators should take and adapt DV to work to their specific needs. I hope you see the same exciting results that I have been able to witness. When given an opportunity to develop video productions in a school environment, the process and results have been nothing short of amazing. If you are ready to embark on the adventure, let’s get started!

Deciding what you want to create will be your first step. There are myriad of options for using DV in today's educational environment. The following list of ideas might be helpful to get you started. If you have ideas of your own please email us. We'd love to hear them!
