As part of our experience in Educational Psychology, we were required to create a movie based off a book we read in class. The book my group read was "Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire" by Rafe Esquith. The experience in itself was very fun and great to get acquainted with for use with I-Movie in my classroom. I felt that our group worked together very well even though there may have been technical difficulties here and there :)
This learning experience of making a movie brought me to realize what it can be like for students to be learning a new concept that can be difficult to work with, especially if it's technology and things go awry. I think it is important to integrate technology into your classroom because this enables children to think creatively in other ways then the usual poster board or even power point. If anything students can at least learn that saving files is VERY VERY important. It's even wise to put it on an external hard-drive if possible.
