Group Leadership Project

Our Group Project!

Group Project


Our group used a variety of tools to produce our final video.  I actually used the app Explain Everything to do my part of the video.  I was able to import the pictures, show the explanations, and do the audio and then the app created the movie file and I was able to send it to Fredy for the final cut.  The others in my group I know used Reflection, audacity, iMovie, screen capture tools, and iShow. It was amazing to me that even with all the different tools we all used that it all came together for our final project.

I actually learned a lot during the development part of this project.  I learned that being able to communicate in a variety of ways is important when working with people from all over.  Gmail, Google Docs, and Google video chat were essential to making this project work as well as it did.  I liked the fact that you could record the video part and share it with others.  This would be good for me as a teacher to make sure students were on task and doing what they were supposed to do.  I also learned that there is a lot of planning (who is doing what, pictures, collaboration, story board and then putting the whole thing together) I need to make sure my students know all the different steps and that ALL the steps are important for a good final project.  It is important to be flexible and to make sure you get your part done on time so it all works.

I wouldn't do much differently if I had this all to do over again.  It might be helpful to not use so many different tools...but with each of us doing something different it kind of worked out best.  It just showed me that it is possible to use all the different tools and that you can put them together in one project.  It just shows how wonderful iMovie is in the fact that you can use so many different modes and they will all work in the end.  I would still use all the steps we had to do and I do see that I needed to add more to my part of the story board.
