I found the exercise of working with sound files, still images and text to be extremely engaging and now can see how these multiple dimensions enrich the creative experience. I admit that I also enjoyed the challenge of precision in the process: finding the right image at an appropriate resolution, harmonizing the tones of voice, soundtrack (!) and content, finessing the placement and duration of visual elements, all while just touching the surface of what iMovie and Audacity are capable of. This has been a wonderful opportunity to explore new methods of conveying ideas in aesthetically interesting and animating ways, and I’m audaciously hoping to develop inspiring ideas for how to integrate this new knowledge into my teaching in the future.

A big shout out of appreciation to Ken and Hil for organizing this session and running it so effectively!
