What?? No Movie Maker?

So . . . the school system is moving to Windows 7, and guess what? No Movie Maker!

I'm not sure why Microsoft decided to eliminate that program, but I know a lot of people at LHS use it, so I researched and found a cool alternative.

Jaycut is a free online video editing site. I was amazed at the advanced options available. I used it with my online English 12 students this summer, and they created movies with no help from me at all.

Students can share their movies in a variety of ways, although most of them are blocked on the school network, but they can still share from home.

If you're using laptops or desktops with Windows 7, and you need a movie editor, try Jaycut.

Here's a really, really simple video I made just to try it before I introduced it to my students:

I've been using this with both teachers and students, and everyone gets it and loves it.
