Windows Movie Maker

I'll have to agree with my classmates in saying that I enjoyed using Windows Movie Maker. It was easy and intuitive to use and I liked the way that you could toggle between the storyboard and timeline views. It was easy to import video and sound and to add captions to the photos. Another student commented that it lacks advanced editing features. While this may be a drawback, I didn't think it would have a huge impact on the tool, depending, of course, on how one was going to use MovieMaker.

One of the best features of this program for school librarians is its ubiquity - almost all, if not all, Windows PC's come loaded with it. So there is no extra cost involved in procuring it. I think students would like using it to create videos and presentations. It would appear to a variety of learners - experiential, visual, intrapersonal, interpersonal,logical, kinesthetic, logical, etc.
