With more computers coming into the school having the capabilities of movie editing and the fact that I did a workshop for my mentees on this, I decided I would find out more information about how desktop movies are being used in other schools. I was amazed at how much other schools have integrated video editing into their curriculum. The following are short articles so that is why I am giving a few of them.

(www.apple.com/education/k12/imagine/0203/grossmont/profile/academy) From Apple�s News for the K-12 Community, Vol. 2, No. 3, April 2000: Desktop Movies and the New media Academy: Grossmont High School in California has found that students have a new enthusiasm for learning since using iMovie. They feel these projects are powerful ways to teach across the curriculum and when students see their video and when there�s a personal message, then it is meaningful to them. The goal of this school is to prepare students to be successful and to provide them with real-world experiences. Creating projects using desktop videos does just this.

(http://www.apple.com/education/k12/imagine/0203/grossmont/profile/academy/) From Apple�s News for the K-12 Community, Vol. 2, No. 3, April 2000: Reading, Writing, and Desktop Movies: In Tacoma, Washington they are equipping every room with a workstation capable of producing desktop movies. They feel that �visual communication - especially with video - is the most compelling way for students to share their stories.�

(http://www.apple.com/education/k12/imagine/oksana/index2.html) From Apple�s web site: iMovie: Helping Students to be Heard: iMovie is so easy that language doesn�t matter - a student from Belorussian was able to create a movie within 10 minutes and then typed the english translation - this helped her with the language barrier. iMovie is improving communication skills with students. It gives students empowerment because �with such an easy-to-use tool for self-expression at their disposal, children of any age can finally make themselves heard in an adult world.�
