Multimedia Yearbook

June 14, 2009 · by Eric Sorenson

For the past three years, my mother and I have created a memories video for the second grade class that she teaches at Arboretum Elementary School in Waunakee. Over the course of the school year she takes pictures and videos of field trips, plays, holidays and other events. Then we compile them with music and effects into a half-hour presentation for the students and their parents. This year, Tammy was able to join us for the screening of the class movie.

Each student gets his or her own copy of the DVD to take home at the end of the year. We even found DVDs with a picture of a movie reel on the top, and the kids really got a kick out of it!

While I’m usually spending my time at the computer programming, my roots are in multimedia, so it’s always fun to use the iLife software that comes with the Mac. Additionally, it’s fun to work on a project with a member of my family for a change. However, for me, the best part of the project is seeing the reactions of the students in the class as they watch the video – and sing and dance along with the music!
