iMovie: History of Basketball

I felt like I was very successful with the iMovie project. It was a lot of fun and I picked the topic based on my personal experiences growing up. Basketball was a sport that I thoroughly enjoyed and I think that any grade level would enjoy viewing my movie. Making the movie was not very difficult, but it took me awhile to figure out how to add music to my movie. I had to make sure I knew where the downloads were and some websites for free music were more helpful than others. The website I enjoyed most was freeplaymusic.com. This website gave you the option to download a song's full version, 30 seconds of the song or 60 seconds. Once I figured out how to save them to my desktop it was easy to click and drag to add the song to my movie. In the classroom I would definitely give the students a chance to create an iMovie. I would make it an option because I know that all students will probably not have access to a Mac computer. The movie could be used in any subject. For example in language arts it could be used to create a book trailer or in history it could be used to explain a time period in history. This would be a fun and interactive way to integrate technology in my classroom!
