This is a short movie of the North Slope Region of Alaska. This is where I grew up. I wanted to make a movie that sums up about the way of life in this part of the world. Enjoy!
The Windows Movie Maker Program is an excellent tool to use in the classroom with your students. Students can use this program to go with their writing assignments. They can create pictures to go with the assignments, and record story to go with it. When the movie is played, it makes their work come to life! This program is a tool that can be used with writing to help them become more interested in this subject. Some students can struggle to get into the mood of writing, however, with this program, they become excited to participate. This is a wonderful technology tool that reaches students in the classroom. If students know that they can tell a story through technology, they are going to enjoy the process and learn more through it.
I would like to create a movie that teaches the Inupiat Eskimo language, and also how to pronounce the letters. This same concept can be used to teach different lessons in a way that is fun for students. Allowing students to learn about subjects through reading is something they might struggle with. However, allowing them to learn through the Movie Maker Program is a way that you know they will most likely appreciate. There is many different ways that this program can be used in the classroom. I think the possibilities are endless, and will result in success in the classroom.
I feel comfortable using the Windows Movie Maker Program. I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to add music to the background to complement the narration of the movie. In the future I will use the MAC iMovie HD, because you can have both narration and music at one time. I would have preferred to have the music in the background for this movie I made. I do feel like this program is a wonderful tool to use in the classroom. I really believe that this program can be used to help teach students in many different ways. This is a positive technology tool!

This is a very important movie. It represents the kinds of stories that children and their teachers and parents all over Alaska should be telling. Ignorance breeds prejudice. Understanding breeds cooperation. It seems to me that we should be doing all we can to tell our stories and engender more understanding.
Really nice work!
Wow Janet!! That was so great! Your voice sounds perfect, the music at the end fit very well, and the photos and the story were incredible. I learned so much and it was very enjoyable. It flowed so well. Great job!
