In this assignment I had to think about when I decided to become a teacher. Growing up, my Mom was a teacher, so teaching was already a part of my life from middle school on. It wasn't until high school that I really decided that I, too, would enjoy being a teacher. Working with younger students and helping others always interested me and made me happy, but it wasn't until I had the opportunity to actually experience the classroom from an adult perspective that I knew I would end up in the classroom.
To create this project, I pulled out artifacts from my high school experience and put them together to create a video. I shot the pictures using the Photo app and curated all the pictures in iMovie. I also used the voice-over feature in iMovie to include audio. The Ken Burns affects aren't my favorite, but they do give a little interesting twist here and there.
I originally thought I would record my voice in the audioboom app, then upload this audio file and the pictures to my computer so that I could use MovieMaker to put it all together. In doing so, I had to also use Audacity to convert the .mp3 video files to .wav files so Movie Maker could read it. Also I had to log onto Audioboom from my computer to download the audio files. This was becoming too much work. Instead, I opened iMovie on my phone and got to work curating the pieces through the app. This was much less time consuming as I didn't need to send the files to myself via email.
In the end I learned that if I use my cell phone to create parts of a project, I should also finish the project on my cell phone. It's much easier then dealing with uploading, downloading, and converting the files. The viewer will need to turn their volume up because of how I recorded the voice over.
