Digital Video
During the FDEP camp
Teachers across Florida are learning to create their own movies! The programs we are recommending are:
iMovie (Mac)
Movie Maker (Windows) Download a copy here
PhotoStory for Digital Story Telling (Windows only)
Create original music with PhotoStory (podcast)
Are you having a problem converting those video files to show in your classroom? Here is a media play that will play almost any format and its free.
Free online file conversion services
Zamzar (will convert in reasonable time and emails you when the conversion is ready)
Media Convert (creates an immediate downloadable file)
Using Movie Maker is easier than it looks. Once you understand that you have a collection to create by adding digital assets such as: video, still images, and sounds, you are on your way to creating an original classroom video.
This "Hub" is designed to be a dabble class to encourage novice movie makers to turn these skills over to the students who will become "prosumers" of the content of their learning.
Supported file types
(from the Microsoft Help files in Movie Maker)
You can add content to your Windows Movie Maker project either by capturing content directly in Windows Movie Maker or by importing existing digital media files. The content you capture in Windows Movie Maker is saved in Windows Media Format. However, you can also import existing Windows Media-based content as well as other common file formats.
You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:
- Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
- Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf
- Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

Thanks Chris, the video converter is simple to use. It defaulted to .avi files and I had a little trouble with .mov and .mp4, but will try again. Thanks so much!

Photostory will be super easy for all students to pick up. Much quicker and less complicated than Moviemaker.
