I would use the "Movie Story" as a means to to provide a mini photo-documentary to the students and parents at the end of the school year or periodically throughout. I would document some of their projects and activities that were completed in my classroom and could provide this movie to the parents through the classroom blog or classroom portal. I feel that parents would enjoy actually seeing some of what their children are actually doing while in class. As a parent I know that most of what we know about our child's classroom activities comes from feedback we receive from the teacher/student. The video would also serve as a keepsake for the student and a reminder of all of the fun things that they did and possibly even refresh their memory about some of the lessons that were taught. I could also teach my students how to use the software so they could complete video scrapbooks of their own. They could use it to show pictures of their classroom projects or could use it as a means to present information. I am excited that students, parents, and teachers now have this type of technology readily available for use.
