Output devices

After exploring output devices in class, three I would like to/plan to use in my classroom are iMovie, iPod, and DVD.
I loved dabbling in the uses of iMovie in class last week. With 4th graders I could see using iMovie with a variety of projects. One specific one I was thinking of was our Living Author's Museum. Students research an author and do a presentation as that author. How cool would it be for students to still do this portion of the project but also add real video footage or photographs of their author in an iMovie? This would be a great way for students to do a few kinds of research and intergate technology at the same time.
As for iPods I actually use my iPod quite frequently in my classroom already however we basically use it for fun. I have playlists for when we clean our desks, work on projects, have writing workshop time, etc... I don't think podcasts are in my near future but I think a better use of music from my iPod is possible. During a particular unit in social studies we talk about different types of music (jazz, blues, bluegrass, etc...) and what influences impacted the creation of that music. To make better use of my iPod I could upload different examples of that music and do some kind of listening activities with it. I could even use the iPod for part of the assessment of that unit where kids would have to listen to and identify the different kinds of music we studied.
DVDs are an output device that can be easily used at any grade level for a variety of activities. Obviously there is the advantage of using DVD over video for the simple fact that you can show specific chapters of a movie/show instead of showing the whole thing or worrying about fastforwarding. Actually, for a point-of-view writing project last year, I did just that. We watched scenes from 4 different movies and then wrote from the point-of-view of each of the characters. Aside from viewing options, I could use DVD to create a classroom set of something where each kid had their own chapter. For example, we sometimes include explorers in our social studies curriculum. Each student could present their explorer, which we could record, then put in chronological order on a DVD. It would be a student-centered historical timeline!
