iMovie and GarageBand

David, if you are going to make iMovies third term, I would for sure get SOME your students to try to create their music using GarageBand. This year with our iMovie projects, the HDSB disallowed the use of downloaded music and so the students had to create mood music, etc. I can tell you that I had SOME students (audio/musical learners) who preferred using GB to iMovie and spent HOURS and HOURS with it. Some of the music they created is amazing. I know creating a whole song is different than a few seconds for mood, etc., but I'd allow some of your brighter lights to experiment.
