4. MOVIE MAKER
Technology gives students the opportunity to take their education
into their own hands.
For example, students can use a tool such as Movie Maker to aid not
only in their understanding of a subject, but their classmates as well.
By creating a movie about their current lesson, Movie Maker
encourages students to communicate with each other and to learn to
use new technology.
Movie Maker is also an effective tool in evaluating a students
understanding of key themes in a lesson.
