Entry Title:
Magnet Schools
Project Description:
This is a time lapse video of a description of magnet schools, using a whiteboard to assist with the explanation. We submitted this video because we thought that it was pretty cool and we were very happy with the way that the video turned out. We created this video as a class assignment to explain what magnet schools are and how they work to our Teacher Academy class. This video could be used anywhere. To make this video, we used the camera app, utilizing the times-lapse feature, and we used iMovie to combine all of the times-lapse videos to then add the voice over (also done on iMovie) and add the music at the end. We also used Word to write the end credits.
