BizMovie !

I know as a future teacher I am always thinking of ways to keep students interested in topics that I am going to be teaching. I know for me growing up I loved the different projects we would do in class and the group work that would take up a few class days. Then at the end seeing the finished product that we all worked so hard to put together. Over a few class sessions my group and I worked hard to understand Bizmovie! A interactive way to teach students economics in the classroom, while getting real life experience. Going into this I had no idea what BizMovie even was. Dr. Smrinova handed us a booklet on it and my group and I looked at it with such confusion. But, after reading about it and researching it online we quickly started to understand what it was all about. BizMovie is an interactive student based project that allows students to create their own production company. My group and I put together a video debate using Go-Animate-4 Schools, we created the video but found out we could not save it longer then 30 seconds. We were able to put together the full seven minute video but we were not able to save it. So for our project we decided to make three 30 second videos.

This is the introduction to the debaters, one will debating for lectures in the classroom while the women is debating for Bizmovie in the classroom. 

This is a clip of the debaters starting to discuss the differences between biz movie and lectures in the classroom 

This is the narrator sharing with everyone how much he loves biz movie and how it can be utilized successfully in the classroom.

It was disappointing not being able to put together the whole go-animate movie, since it seemed like a really awesome website to use. I wish it could have been used for a trial for a certain amount of time instead of just having to buy it. Teachers try to utilize all the resources they can at any point, So i wish i could have shown my class the finished product, so they might want to use it in the future as well.
