I Just finished reading an iBook made by Profesor Kuhn called "Learn iMovie -- Making trailers and full movies on your iPad". This is a very useful and brief guide that teach you how to use the application -- iMovie. iMovie is a powerful moviemaking app that lets you and your students produce imaginative, narrative, and inspiring films shot entirely on iPad. Here is what the iBook looks like.
There are 4 chapters in this iBook: Chapter 1 Planning your movie, Chapter 2 Adding titles, text photos & video your trailer, Chapter 3 Untitled, and Chapter 4 Making a full iMovie. Basically, it is a simple guide for beginners of iMovie.
I learned that I can use iMovie to make either movie, or trailer. There are 15 themes that I can choose from for my project. Before starting making everything, it is important to plan out everything. Also, I can integrate some other applications to help enriching my project.
Apart from above, I learned the basic operations of iMovie, including how to edit my text, how to add videos and photos (it is important to give credits to the photos!), how to save and share my iMovie etc. Besides the basic operations, I learned about the theory about the Bloom level, which is a theory about the level of thinking skills. From low to high, the orders are: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analysing, Evaluating, and Creating. Last but not least, there is a clear instruction about how to upload iMovie on Youtube, which I found really helpful.

Besides the iBook I mentioned above, there is another iBook made by Apple Teacher, which is called "iMovie for iPad Starter Guide". This guide show us how to use many of the most powerful tools and features in iMovie for iPad. It includes basic elements and features of iMovie, and guides readers through the exporting and sharing process as well. Here is the cover of the iBook.
There are 5 Chapters in this iBook: Chapter 1 Welcome, Chapter 2 Getting to Know iMovie, Chapter 3 Creating Your Movie, Chapter 4 Watching and Sharing Your Movie, and Chapter 5 Going Further.
In Chapter 1, the iBook introduces briefly about iMovie, and talks about how to use this guide correctly to learn efficiently. In Chapter 2, it talks about the views in iMovie, the project browser (it gives you a blank timeline as a canva), how to edit iMovie, the Media Library, how to navigate the timeline, and the Inspector. In Chapter 3, there are a list of skills that we will need to make a movie or trailer, for example, opening the project file, adding a video clip or a photo to the timeline, reordering clips, adjusting volume etc. It basically teaches us about each basic skill with details. In Chapter 4, it provides us a lot of ways to share the trailer or movie we make. The first method to share our project is AirDrop. In addition, we can also share our movie to other apps and popular web destinations. In the future of my DED 318 course, after making the trailer, professor Kuhn will ask us to share it on Youtube. Also, we can share it to Photos, iTunes, and iCloud Drive. For Chapter 5, it is more about ideas and inspiration. This chapter encourages us to build our own multimedia project using iMovie. It also provides us other resources that can help us discover and create new ways to engage our students.
After reading these two useful iBook guides, I did the quizzes and earned my Apple Teacher Badge for iMovie. Check it out down below:

iMovie is a really powerful application for movie making. It is a great tool to express our great idea and it is also very helpful for teachers and students. I am very looking forward to make my own trailer soon!
