I loved the class we had on video editing, Audacity, and Screencastify. Thanks to Rich McCue and the UVic Digital Scholarship Commons https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/dsc/ – what a great resource they are for our community. I enjoyed going a little more in-depth on iMovie with this class. And since that class, I have been making many more with the additional knowledge, including a Thanksgiving video for my friend who lives across the world and who misses autumn in Canada. The educational applications for all three of the tools that we were introduced to – iMovie, Audacity and Screencastify – seem boundless to me. Especially in this era where essays and tests are no longer at the top of the summative assessment hierarchy, I am looking forward to inviting students to demonstrate their learning through any and all of these methods.
