Technology and collaboration

Certain programs that can be bought such as photoshop and adobe premiere are very big and sometimes daunting programs to explore. Working on a 30 second video with four other people was a great way to experience one of these programs. The video was filmed in the teachers college cafeteria and had some excellent ambient music from the taste of Harlem event. The clips were edited in the computer lab using the program iMovie  From my past experience I have had a lot of trouble navigating the different tools and effects one can use in the program. The team really helped clarify what one can do with the program and how to use the tools. Technology learning collaboratively lends itself well in class because a person might be too embarrassed to ask the teacher for help and therefore can ask his peers if they know the answer. It allows students to gain ideas about being creative using videos as an art source.
