Educational Multimedia Website

For my website I chose the topic public art. I created the website using IMovie. I thought it was really easy to use compared to the other sites I first tried. The website is intended for my 8th grade students. It covers what public art is and the benefits of public art. I created a quiz in proprofs for my assessment. I enjoyed researching and working on this website. I have found a lot of great resources and ideas for future projects with my students. Public art is an excellent topic for a school wide unit. I look forward to using this lesson! PUBLIC ART

Video Production

This took forever!!!  I had to visit the genius bar in order to get IMOVIE reinstalled.  I am glad I did!  Imovie was so much easier to use then the three days I spent trying to get moviemaker to work.  I think my next attempt at using IMOVIE will be so much easier.  My video was about sculptures in the city of Cleveland.  I want to encourage my students to be aware of the beauty in their city and understand its significance.
