Microsoft Movie Maker

Enrich Coursework and Learn Core Film Making Skills

Create your own movies to support teaching and learning. Film students, field trips, or experiments and edit the footage with easy-to-use tools. Support a wider range of visual and auditory learning styles, and engage your audience with Microsoft Movie Maker.

Budding film-makers in the classroom can use Movie Maker to record and store experiments, produce their own documentaries, or edit footage from school excursions. Students who have missed lessons can catch up with their classmates faster. Movie Maker makes revision easy, and reduces the need for pages of difficult-to-decipher notes.

Simulations in Movie Maker help students to place themselves in a dramatic role or environment. Sporting simulations, for example, help students to learn the rules of a game and practice their skills, and gives them the confidence to participate.

Teachers can bring experiments to life that were filmed outside of the classroom. Or analyse students’ performance from the sports field. Specialist lessons can be recorded, and then edited in Movie Maker to provide a high-quality teaching resource that can be played to students and reused in other classes or years.
