IMovie Experience

The movie project was an interesting twist for me this time around. Normally, I using Movie Maker is no problem for me but this summer I brought my first mac. It has been a learning curve for me. As a result this project was a challenge for me because I had to learn how to use IMovie and that is involved with using it. When you have been used to creating videos with Movie Maker then switch you get a different perspective on Mac vs PC.
My IMovie project focused on Respecting Students with Disability. I have always admired those extra special teachers who work with students have physical disabilities. These teachers are the true heroes of education. There two MOID classrooms at my school and fifteen students in grades Kindergarten to fifth. I see both classes when they come to Media Center for story time and everyday during their lunch time when I am on cafeteria duty. Students in general education class do not know how to relate to MOID students instead they often stare or laugh at them.
I hope this video which still needs work in my opinion will serve as a stepping stone to begin a discussion with general education students about the importance of treating their fellow classmates with respect and understanding regardless of their disability. This is not limited to just students but also to teachers. As we also have misconceptions, uneasiness and questions about students with disabilities but are often to afraid to ask because we might be seen as less compassion.
It has been my experience that MOID teachers and other teachers who with students with physical disabilities welcome the questions and welcome questions to address misconceptions and misinformation about students with disabilities. When it comes to students with disabilities there is such thing as a dumb question.
