Until now I never opened iMovie on my Mac and honestly after this small activity I wish I did it sooner. Wondering what content to use and how to use it for educational purposes was quite easy to do.
Cairns went through two cyclones this year (well one Christmas day) so I thought what a great way to show some footage while having some fun with it and compare Hurricane Katrina to Cyclone Tash & Yasi, respectively of course.
In a science course students could find footage of Hurricane Katrina and compare with our own cyclones in Australia. Research on the following:
- · Compare different categories
- · How do they name cyclones/hurricanes
- · Differences between cyclones / hurricanes
- · Noted cyclones / hurricanes
- · What does the future hold for cyclones / hurricanes
- · What preparation is required
- · What supplies and stocks are required
As a group, students can create a digital video presentation that includes still photos, uploads of other footage, their own footage (on how to prepare, supplies required etc), voice over etc. An assignment such as this would be designed to help students work independently and collaborate for their presentation.
