Community reviews for iMovie

Students love using iMovie to create video projects. One downside is that it usually takes forever with the filming and typically need to be outside of the classroom (like in the hallway) since typically multiple groups will be filming at once. The app is pricey at $5, but I've noticed more and more students already have it on their personal devices which is great since the videos students film outside of class are always much better than those done in the hallway. The trailer template is also great because it includes a storyboard for students to fill out which helps prepare them before filming.

This is a great teaching tool. Teachers and students can create presentations to engage the viewer in a unique way.

I used the product to make a short film about the WPA and found it easy to use and better received from students than just a regular power point

iMovie is a great tool to use with students to meet some of the common core literacy standards in all subject areas. It provides them a means to create something more personal and interesting that the standard essay or PowerPoint. Now that iMovie is free with new iOS devices, it's value is even greater as a learning tool.

iMovie allows students to be creative at every level of Bloom's Taxonomy including creating, evaluating, analyzing, applying, understanding, and remembering. I would definitely use iMovie again! The students can share and publish finished iMovie projects as movies to your camera roll or as podcasts that are accessible on any number of platform via YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, or through iTunes.

iMovie is very easy to use. It is easy to record, edit, and to send to another device to be saved or played.

It is easy to use and students can be creative.

IMovie is a great app that students love to use in the classroom. They like to make their product their own. This tool is good for peer review. It gives the students a chance to see what the students created and to provide constructive feedback.

All of my students have loved using iMovie. They enjoy being creative and are willing to do the research to make a better video. With all the options of trailers and movie boards, the students have something that will fit their needs.

I found the previous versions of iMovie to be glitchy and not very user friendly, especially for high school students. The updates decreases crashes and glitches and provides more options for creativity.
