Google Docs and iMovies

iMovie Project with Google Docs: 

Wooohooo!  We can all sign out iPads now, let's use them! 

iMovie is a great app on the iPads.  For starters, try using iMovie Trailer which can be accessed through iMovie.  A very easy to use video app that allows students to create a trailer.  I guarantee they will be engaged as soon as you show them those default examples from the iPad.

How we integrated iMovie with Google Apps:

Instructions and rubrics were uploaded to Google Drive and was shared with all students:

That's right! No more excuses of losing the rubric sheet or not knowing what they are suppose to do.  All they need to do is log onto their Google Drive and they will be able to find the two documents. 

Once they are done with their iMovie, they will upload it to Youtube as a private video and share it with the class.  Their Youtube account is the same as their Google Doc account!  (They can access Youtube through the 9 dots beside their name when they are in their Google Drive) So they don't even need to sign up for it and it is completely secure as long as they choose to publish it in private mode.
