Before the Apple Distringuished Educator Asia Institute began, I headed on down to Singapore with a few other ADEs to be part of Final Cut Pro training.  I’ll admit, I’ve opened Final Cut Express a few times but I haven’t really spent too much time with it.  It, along with Final Cut Pro, is the type of program you need to sit down with for a big chunk of time so that you can process and put all of its intricacies deep inside your head.  I’m walking out of the training inspired because I actually see a use for this dynamic program even at the middle school level.  As a teacher, I can’t wait to get back to school so that I can tape something with several cameras and put it all into Final Cut Pro.  My biggest question that I have is this:  What types of Final Cut projects are schools doing with their students?

Ripping, Rolling, Slipping, Sliding… I kind of feel like they are lyrics from a 60′s song but we are talking about a mighty powerful piece of software.

So, two questions:

What types of projects are you seeing from students using Final Cut?

Do you think it’s necessary to have Final Cut Pro for schools or does Final Cut Express do the job?

What a week it has been! Coming home from the Apple Distinguished Educator training in Singapore, I was on such a high! I was thrilled to make so many connections with such wonderful people and I did want to lose the connections with the people. Over the course of this week, I’ve gotten together with them twice. We had a “social” gathering earlier in the week and today we met at a local school to learn more from each other. I attended David Gran‘s session about Final Cut – it was wonderful to have a big chunk of time to sit down with it wish such a knowledgeable user.  Jonathan Chambers also presented on LiveType which I also intend to spend more time with – but he’s across the hall from me so I intend to take advantage of that this week!  Below you’ll find an example of something he created today for his session!  (Watch ont Jonathan – I’ll be reserving you!) Thanks to all for such a wonderful professional development day!
