4. Making Movies Trailers
Small groups use iMovie to create a trailer explaining why the chosen organelle is the hero of the cell
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for
significant task redesign.
Go to the iMovie app on the iPad
Click the + to create a new project.
You can choose to make a short (less than three minutes) movie or use the trailer template.
If you create a trailer, you will need to chose one of the genres available then hit the create button in the top right corner.
On the left of the screen will be your trailer preview and on the right is the outline and storyboard.
On the outline, fill in a title and add credits for every group member. Include your class hour.
On the storyboard, click on the highlighted areas to change the title headings. Click on the pictures to add videos or photos saved from the internet.
When done, save the video in the medium 360 p format and post to the Blackboard discussion board.
This task uses: Ipad with iMovie installed Blackboard discussion thread
Learning Objective(s):
The learner will use technology when appropriate to enhance laboratory investigations and presentations of findings.
