Exporting Movie from iMovie | Uploading to DropItTo.Me

5th Grade students are working on creating multimedia presentations of their studies of the American Revolutionary War. Here is a quick tutorial on how to first export the work from iMovie to the desktop as a video file and then to upload it to dropitto.me/earthtreec in order to share it with me.

First, in iMovie click on “Share” and then “Export Movie.”

Next, NAME IT, (MAKE SURE THAT YOUR NAME AND YOUR TEACHERS NAME IS INCLUDED IN THE MOVIE NAME) select “Desktop” and then “Export.”

Then click “UPLOAD.”

WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE A NOTE DISPLAYED THAT SAYS “FILE SUCCESSFULLY UPLOADED” BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE BROWSER!!!

Once all of the videos are uploaded, I’ll burn them to a DVD for each class.

Classroom Resources that Work

Here’s a great list of online resources that students and teachers can use. I love that it’s organized by Robert Marzano’s, Classroom Instruction that Works book. Hat tip to Chris D-H for this.

Today I’ll be interviewing for the TIS Technology Coach position.  Below is a rough draft of a menu of support for TIS teachers. Obviously, it’s sampled after a sushi menu. 🙂

Wish me luck!
