Creating a free app trailer for class was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm not a very tech-savvy person, so I struggled a little bit a long the way. There is a lot more details that went into it than I initially had planned. Trying to get the music playing just at the right moments were hard, but that was fun to play around with. My favorite part was using the music engine, audacity. I enjoyed messing with that and trying to make new sounds. Also, making the video flow nice and smoothly was difficult because you have all of these different slides, music, and clips that need to be shown in a neat and orderly manner.
I learned a lot of new techniques I would like to use in my future classroom. I would really like to try and make a trailer possibly for the beginning of the year, so the students can have a fun way of knowing what the school year has in store for them. It would also be fun, to have a project day with students where they could help me put together an end of the year trailer just about them. We could then invite some of the teachers that will be teaching them that following year as a preview for the future students they will have that fall. This project has made me excited and has given me new ideas for my future classroom.
