October: The Month of iMovie

This month, I have been a part of numerous teachers forays into the world of iMovie, an easy to use, convenient, AMAZING app that is loaded onto all of our student iPads. 

What is iMOVIE? 

According to Apple's website, "iMovie.. lets you enjoy your videos like never before. Browse your clips more easily, instantly share your favorite moments, and create beautiful HD movies and Hollywood‑style trailers. And when you’re ready to premiere on all your devices, iMovie Theater rolls out the red carpet." And this information is all completely legit - our students are creating movies to demonstrate learning, to teach peers, to address a concern they have, and these movies look like Hollywood productions! See this page for an example: STEM Video Padlet 

How can I use iMOVIE?

Georgia Educational Technology Conference

Teachers and support staff here at River Eves had a blast at this year's Georgia Educational Technology Conference (GaETC). The three day event served as a fantastic resources for lesson plans, gadgets, apps, websites - all things school tech related. We are so thankful for Fulton county's Vanguard committee, the school, and our wonderful education foundation (REEF) for supporting us in our pursuit of further knowledge and professional development. Below, you will find some pictures from the event. Enjoy!
