Most computers have QuickTime Player which allows you to view movies. or clips from the Internet. Of course having QuickTime allows me to save lots of my creations as movies by adding the extension .mov to the end of the title. In movie format I can add the creations into movie creating software, upload and embed into blogs and wikis, and send off via email to friends and colleagues.
I have upgraded my QuickTime to the Pro version, a cost of about $50 AU. QuickTime is available for both platforms.
With pro I can really extend the uses. QuickTime allows you to make animations and seamlessly stitches the photos together at whatever frame rate you choose. I like editing movie footage to capture those small learning moments to support teaching. You know, the 2 minute sequence on asking informative questions, or the science experiment etc. Pro also allows you to add additional tracks, eg voice overs, and embed movies within movies. QuickTime Pro a flexible easy to use piece of software, that allows you to create higher end resources.
I've included a wee segment Chris did with a class of 21 boys and 7 girls after a study of the solar system. They loved sharing their learning this way, especially the boys.
Chris showed them how to make an animation and then each group had 1.5 hrs to plan, create, make, shoot and put together.... and they did. Many thanks Room 6 and Chris for sharing
