Movie making is an underused artform that uses ICT in the classroom. As an example, here is a little movie I made using still images. It shows how simple and easy it is to incorporate the use of ICT in a creative way. Students could complete a video for an art project and upload it onto youtube. Giving the students a real audience for their work makes their work worthwhile, and helps to motivate them. It also shows them how to use computers to create something, rather than just for information gathering. It is also a great medium to work with to build confidence in the students' use of technology. Movie making technology such as iMovie ensures images are easy to manipulate or edit and things such as sound clips can be easily added. An art teacher who doesn't feel comfortable with technology, or who hasn't tried making movies before can simply give it a go before teaching it. Also keep in mind the students will be able to control the technology through experimentation and it also teaches them the skills of investigation and persistence.
