Journal 6

1. I enjoyed learning how to use the iMovie and the inspiration programs. The inspiration program was very simple and seemed useful in many ways. I could see the program being useful in the classroom. I think students would love the program because of the creativity involved. The iMovie was surprisingly easy. It usually takes me a long time to catch on to new things, but I found the program very easy and surprisingly fun.

2. The inspiration program could be used in many ways. As a prospective English teacher, I think it would be extremely useful in analyzing characters and themes in stories. It would be a fun activity for a literature assignment or even simply brainstorming. The iMovie program would be helpful in engaging students in certain subjects. As a class, we could create a video, edit and post it for a learning activity as well as for showing parents the interactive activities that take place in the classroom.

3. I did not use Atomic Learning, however it seemed to be a very helpful resource. I'm the type of person who needs to figure it out for myself or have someone show me. That is the only way I would learn. The programs were simple enough to figure it out without the help of Atomic Learning.
