Documenting My Not So Successful Finger Knitting Journey

In education, we have all made PowerPoint presentations, used Canva, and maybe even used Prezi to add a fun touch to a topic.  And quite honestly, I figured this could be a good way to tackle two birds with one stone and get over the fact that I think my voice sounds like an 8-year-old girl on any audio or video recording.  All of that being said, I have decided to document my blanket-making journey using videos that I will *hopefully* edit together to be sped up with some music and maybe even a voice-over for some parts.  Those are my favourite types of videos to watch when I have the time, but instead of knitting tutorials, usually it's cleaning montages.. I know it's strange, no judgements!

Trying to get this blanket started has been trial and error, especially with my toddler playing with my yarn like a playful cat!  But I am hopeful that having a week off coming up, I will make some good progress on my project and have something I can share with you all.  

Using iMovie in the classroom could add another more creative aspect to assessment methods for us as educators and our students.  Specifically for the older students, you could have them edit together short videos for an assignment, or even longer videos for research projects and assignments.  It could also allow for educators to make videos themselves for a lesson they are teaching and show that to their class instead of teaching the lesson live!  It could put a creative twist on maybe a topic that students may find uninteresting!

I am also not hopeful that I will have enough content from that to make a whole iMovie production, so if all else fails, I will be resorting to the Gen-Z version and make a TikTok of my progress.  I have never made one of those either, so who knows!  I am new to using technology for more than just scrolling aimlessly and finding delicious, healthy' sweet treats to make for my son and myself.
