Using Movie Maker to express work

I taught my students how to use Movie Maker. All students, including ELL and students on individual education plans did well on this assignment. The students were given a choice to create a video on the environment or on the social condition. They used creative commons pictures and music to put this video together. I am only posting a few examples. Some have errors but for first timers they did well.

Digital Book

Each one of my students wrote a poem fashioned after Margaret Wise Bown's book, "The Important Book". We then decided to take these poems and create our own book....A digital book using Photostory.
