Editing Golfer Interviews

Scholars have been working to edit their interviews in iMovie on the Macbooks. Many groups also used PicCollage to create an intro to their interviews, and other groups opted to use iMovie's themes, titles, sound effects, and music to enhance their interviews!

Recording Golfer Interviews

Our fourth grade scholars and I learned a lot by using the KCAN (morning announcements) equipment to record interviews with their golfer. Students used a green screen background to insert themselves into a studio or outside golf course setting! Their final interviews will be premiered at Open House and posted to my blog on Thursday evening. Next step- editing in iMovie. :)
