23. Windows Movie Maker Topic “Kids Toys”
Step 1 – Find 20 Pictures of Kids Toys using Google images and save them into a folder titled “Kids Toys”. The following are some ideas to get you started…
Tickle me Elmo
Lego
Transformers
Barbie
GI Joe
Tonka Trucks
Polly Pockets
My little Pony
Hot Wheel Cars

24. Windows Movie Maker - continued
Step 2 – Import the images into Movie Maker
Step 3 – Create a Title slide with the Title “Kids Toys” and Your Name
Step 4 – Create an ending credits slide. It should say the following toys were showcased in this film… (list the toys you included)

25. Saving as a Movie File
Make sure students save as Movie File once they are finished and will not be making any more changes. (Note: saving in this format does not allow changes to be made)
Go to File – Save as Movie File
This will save as media player so that it can be viewed properly from any computer. Media player is a term typically used to describe computer software for playing back multimedia files.
If you have students hand-in their movies without saving this way, I have found that often times the pictures will not show up.
