Conclusion

In completing this task I learnt how to use my videos and picture to make a movie. I intend to use what I have learnt in my classroom to create short films, whether for demonstrational purposes or to make creative videos as supplementary information to assist students in understanding a topic better, especially my visual leaners. I will also allow my students to use this application to show their creative skills for projects and presentations.
