We are using iMovie informally -- actually the students are pushing the
use of it by requesting to use iMovie rather than PowerPoint. We teach
an orientation seminar in the fall of 9th grade that includes a research
project and several students have created movies for their presentations
with good success.
Regarding document cameras, we brought in several brands a couple of
years ago but settled on the ELMO, which is easy to use and everyone
seems thrilled with them. =20

Subject: movie making in the classroom and document cameras
My school's professional day this year is dedicated entirely to
technology, and I want to ensure that teachers are able to link what
they learn on the professional day back to their classrooms. The
workshop that I am teaching is iMovie, and I was hoping
to share exciting ways that teachers are using movie making in the
classrooms. If you could share ways that this tool is being utilized at
your school, I'd love to share them with my school.=20
I was also wondering if anyone is using document cameras. We are looking
to purchase some, and want to make sure the model works well in an
educational setting. If you know of a great model, please let me know
what it is and why you like it. If you know
of a terrible model, that would help too.=20
Thank you,
