Book Talk Reflection

After completing my book talk on "The Rainbow Fish" I learned a lot about the program I used, iMovie. I had never used it before this assignment so I had to figure everything out as I was doing it. This assignment took a little more effort than I had originally planned because I used two different computers. After saving the unfinished project on a disk and loading it onto another computer, everything did not save as it was originally done. I had to fix some segments and add more pictures to finally have my whole project in one piece. I liked recording my voice and fitting it in the same time frame as the slides on the video. It was challenging at first because I did not know what I was doing, but I eventually figured everything out.

I believe this project was assigned to let us as future teachers become more familiar with technology. The more we use different types of software on computers, the more we can integrate it into our classrooms. I plan on using iMovie to create things for my students to use quite often in class. This can be a unique way to present something. This task impacts my future teaching because I will be able to use this new knowledge and apply what I know for my students. I can also create short films for the students parents or guardians to view and see what is happening in the classroom.
