My Cruise Video

I was trying to come up with something really creative, but I ended up just using still shots focusing on my 2009 cruise. Since I don't have access to iMovie, I went with Movie Maker. I was pretty impressed by my classmate's ideas and use of imovie, so hopefully that's a program I will get to spend some time with in the future.

I have done lots of video and photo editing with my former students. I even taught a TV broadcasting class. We didn't have enough computers when we were working on projects, but it was always wonderful to see how creative and unique their productions turned out to be.

I would like to learn more about hypertexts embedded in videos--that isn't something I know anything about. Digital storytelling is an accessible way for low language students to tell a story and then expand to writing or another kind of literacy skill.

Here is a short video of photos taken on my cruise last August. I couldn't get the embed code from Media Mill, so I went to YouTube to get the embed code.

  1. Lisa,

    Looks like you had a wonderful vacation last summer! I really like how the background music captures the light, relaxing mood that I'm assuming you were trying to create.

    Interesting point about the hypertext embedding. I also have no experience with that.

  2. I love your video. Looks like a great time. Your music really added to the video. I think your idea for Digital storytelling would work great with your former students. There are definitely many things you can do with video. I haven't used Movie Maker, but the iMovie was very user friendly.
