With the release of the latest iMovie update, my colleague Matt Przybylski, our school’s tech coordinator, created an excellent presentation for part two of our iPad workshop series. (If you missed it, check out part one: iPad filming tips.)
iMovie (available for $4.99, or free on new iOS devices) has transformed from a simple movie-making app into a robust, versatile creation tool. The new version brings features that make it ideal for both teachers producing instructional videos and students creating multimedia projects. During our workshop, our staff was excited to explore these updates, and I’m anticipating a wave of new, high-quality videos from both teachers and students soon.
What Makes the New iMovie Stand Out
The updated iMovie is designed to be intuitive yet powerful, giving users creative freedom without complexity. Key improvements include:
- Streamlined editing tools for trimming, splitting, and arranging clips
- Professional-grade effects and transitions to enhance visual storytelling
- Integrated audio options, including music, voiceovers, and sound effects
- Easy sharing and exporting, perfect for student projects, classroom tutorials, or sharing resources with parents and colleagues
Whether you’re a novice or returning to explore iMovie’s latest features, the app makes video creation simple, engaging, and impactful.
Upcoming iPad Workshops
Matt and I are planning more hands-on iPad workshops covering topics like:
- iPad fundamentals for beginners
- iWork apps—Pages, Keynote, and Numbers
- Classroom iPad projects for teachers and students
If you’re in the Lower Mainland (Vancouver, Canada) and want us to bring a workshop to your school, leave a comment—we’d be happy to organize a session!
