The official tag for ISTE is #ISTE11. Should you wish to look at options outside of ISTE, feel free to explore any of the other online learning options we’ve looked at the last few classes.

The basic goal is to spend at least two or three hours online learning something. You will then document the experience in a blog post. What worked? What failed? Is it a viable option? What needs to improve? That sort of thing.

Here are some links that may help you may find useful.

iMovie Tutorials broken down into segments.  iMovie is not a difficult program to use.  It does have some little quarks to it.  These tutorials, even if they are on a different version of iMovie, should be useful for you. iMovie Tutorials

 

I have really started to enjoy using the video clips found in the Vimeo School. http://vimeo.com/videoschool
