Making Video Slideshows from Photos With iMovie for iPad

I just finished this introductory lesson (along with four related video tutorials) for our redesigned Middle School STEM course. It walks students through the process of making a video from photos using iMovie on an iPad.

As the course goes on, our students will be expected to use this process to create short videos about their other projects.

The document at the link below contains all the links to the short video tutorials. It will require students to:

• Take seven photos
• Add them to a new iMovie video project
• Change the order, length and transitions as they like
• Add movement to each photo using the pan and zoom effects
• Add titles to at least two photos
• Export the video to the Photos area on the iPad
• Upload the video to Google Drive using the Google Drive app

Note that our students share iPads, so the directions instruct them to share the video file from the iPad's Google account to their personal Google account. As with any part of the document, you can edit those directions to fit your needs.
