Class Experience

In this one time class students will learn the basic skills necessary to create an iMovie. I teach it from a Mac, but I will discuss the differences of using it on an iPad.
We will talk about using pictures vs video clips as well as how to complete a finished product. We will also briefly discuss the differences between making a trailer versus and a movie.
Students will learn the following editing techniques:
-How to add and remove images/clips
-How to trim clips
-How to adjust the speed and sound of a clip
-How to add filters
-How to snapshot an image within a clip
-How to add transitions
-How to add and manipulate audio
-How to export a completed movie

The last 10-15 minutes of class are designed for learners to share any videos they have made or make during class. If learners do not wish to share, the class may not take the full 50 minutes.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! My name is Miss Izzy and I was definitely born to teach. I have a General Studies degree that covers topics such as teaching and learning, psychology, and humanities. Learning can, and should, be a lot of fun! I am always excited about trying something new, and I love to help others learn new things as well. I, myself, was a very interesting student, and that really helps me to be able to cater to a large variety of learning styles. I am more than happy to accommodate all students to the best of my ability. I believe that learning should be equitable and accessible to every student who has the desire to learn. Let's talk about your learner and how we can work together to meet their needs!
I offer a variety of classes such as Greek Mythology, Beginner Spanish, Reading Tutoring, and School/Life Skills.
I have lived in Guatemala off and on for a little over 9 years, and it taught me so much more about teaching in various ways. I also operate a nonprofit in Guatemala that works in a rural village educating those who do not always have the opportunity to attend school. 
Before I started teaching online, I worked for a national literacy non-profit as a Site Coordinator and a tutor. I worked with both elementary students learning to read and helped train the volunteers that came in to tutor them.
I have 2 delightful dogs who love to snuggle with, Sammie and Odyss, and I really am so excited to be your teacher!
