This was a culminating project for our study of the life cycle of the butterfly. Students were asked to write five facts they learned while studying butterflies. They each chose one or two facts to record using iMovie on the iPad. I burned the video along with some other digital projects we had created onto DVDs for the students to take home.
I was able to use their lists of facts to assess their knowledge of butterflies. Students were also able to watch the video to review the facts we had learned during the unit.
As I think back over the project, making all of those DVDs was time consuming but it allowed me to give families without internet access copies of the completed project. The next time I do this project I would like to let the students record each other. It will give them more control over the project and allow them to work together and learn how to use a new tool.
