Part 1. iMovie App Tutorial for Teachers
Goal Statement
After 1.5 hours of instruction, elementary teachers will be able to create a one minute video
project using the app iMovie on the iPad, while also making use of iMovies editing features.
Audience Description
The learners for this instructional design project are elementary teachers at East Helena Public
Schools in East Helena, MT. There are nearly eighty teachers in the district, including both
classroom and specialty teachers. The district has just over 1,000 students. These adult learners
are currently in the midst of a 1:1 iPad rollout for their students. Grades 3, 4, 6, and 7 will be 1:1
in the coming months. Grades K, 1, 2, 5, and 8 will follow in the coming years.
Rationale
iMovie was the movie-making app chosen to be purchased and placed on all student and teacher
iPads. While all learners have been required to take at least a half day training on basic iPad use,
there is little control over whether teachers choose to delve deep into the use of specific apps.
There is a need for instruction regarding the use of specific apps, iMovie being one of the most
requested ones by teachers.
Movie making, while not relatively new in the classroom world, becomes accessible to all
learners at East Helena Public Schools due to the introduction of iPads. Prior to iPads, student
computers and laptops had limited movie making software, as well as limited accessibility to
video cameras. The iPads at East Helena Public Schools have two video cameras, as well as
iMovie, already installed.
Movie-making benefits students in many ways. Retention and a deeper understanding of content
is revealed through movie making. Additionally, the skills of speaking, writing, and listening are
heavily involved with movie making, as well as with the new Common Core ELA Standards.
Teachers would benefit from instruction regarding the use of iMovie on the iPad so they would
feel better equipped to instruct their students on the features of iMovie, thus allowing students to
then create movie projects across all parts of the curriculum.
Part 2 Analysis Report
Needs Assessment Survey
In order to collect the data necessary to conduct a needs assessment, I created an
online with Google Docs and made available this link to participants: Google
Form Survey
The survey was made up of 14 questions and collected information ranging age to comfort levels
with specific uses of the iPad. The survey also included questions regarding iMovie use. The
survey took approximately three minutes to complete.
3
Twenty-one participants started and completed the survey. Appendix A contains screenshots of
the survey questions.
Needs Assessment Data
The following link provides a detailed response summary, including graphs of the responses,
generated by Google Docs. Summary Report
Appendix B contains the data from the Needs Assessment Survey. A summary of the findings is
presented in this section. The Needs Assessment Survey yielded 21 total responses. The survey
indicated that themajority of the learners ages fall between 25 and 60. The needs analysis data indicated that the learners mostly include those who will not be in a 1:1 environment. Learners
indicated several different levels of comfort with the iPad; data ranged fairly evenly from a low
comfort level to a high comfort level. The learners indicated they were very comfortable using
the camera features of the iPad. The survey did indicate, however, that the majority of learners
had 10 or fewer hours of iPad training, and very little experience with the app iMovie and its
features. Learners had little experience in creating trailers or projects in iMovie but indicated
high interest toward learning about the specific features of making an iMovie project. The most
popular feature that learners wanted to learn about was how to create a project, with sound
effects being second. Learners wanted
least to learn how to make an iMovie
trailer.
Learners also gave typed in feedback
regarding their thoughts on how they
might use iMovie in the classroom and
the possible benefits of using iMovie with
their students. Learners only expressed a
few ideas with how to use iMovie on the
classroom, but had many possible benefits
listed in comparison. The needs
assessment also asked learners what their
preferred way to learn was from four
choices; direct instruction, from peers,
self-directed, or other. Most of the learners indicated they enjoyed learning from peers or self-
directed.
Learner Needs and Characteristics
The learners are all teachers in an elementary K-8 district in East Helena, MT. The learners
mostly fall between the ages of 25-60. The learners all have a minimum of a bachelors degree, and many have a masters degree. The learners have a wide range of experience levels with using the iPad. All learners have had at least one district provided iPad training. The learners all have
a school assigned iPad. The learners also had varying comfort levels with using iPads and with
using the video features of the iPad, ranging from low to high on a scale of 1 to 10. Learners
indicated an interest to learning how to use the iMovie app through their descriptions of the
possible benefits. The learners variety of ways they enjoyed learning will need to be taken into
4
consideration. The majority of learners surveyed said they would like to learn from their peers,
while some indicated they would like to self-direct their learning.
Because of the range of prior knowledge with iPads, additional assistance will need to be given
to those who require further explanation with certain iPad features and procedures.
Learning Context Description
The survey helped determine that the instruction should take place in a computer lab in East
Helena Public Schools, where the learners could have synchronous access to a cart of iPads with
iMovie if needed. The survey indicated learners were highly interested in learning from their
peers. This location also allows for the learners to have internet access via the wireless network.
The computer lab has forty Windows computers, as well as a projector and Apple TV. The
learners will be provided with both written and online tutorials for the features of the iMovie
app.
Transfer Context
Teachers will be transferring the learned skills and procedures through immediate application
and sharing of ideas with peers. Learners will also be provided with practice time during the
instruction, and will be able to self-evaluate when comparing and sharing projects with peers.
Learners will also transfer their learned skills when they instruct their classrooms of students on
how to use the app iMovie. The students will apply their learned skills through classroom
projects across all aspects of the curriculum. Examples of possible ways to use iMovie in the
classroom is through informational presentations, character education building, commercial or
advertisement creation, information news reports, and movie style book reports.

Part 3: Planning
Rationale: The overall approach in terms of strategies will be supplantive. The learners will
require higher amounts of scaffolding with the various components of iMovie, as the majority of
learners indicated they had relatively little to no experience with iMovie. However, toward the
end of instruction, strategies will switch to generative, allowing learners to use their newfound
knowledge to create iMovie projects. Thus, approximately 85% of instructional time will be
supplantive, while 15% will be generative.
Creating a course for teachers regarding the instruction of the iMovie app meets a critical
professional development need for teachers incorporating iPads into their districts. Movie
making benefits students in several ways. Greater retention and a more thorough understanding
of content is shown through movie making. Speaking, writing, and listening skills are highly
used with movie making, as well as with the new Common Core ELA Standards. Teachers
would benefit from instruction regarding the use of iMovie on the iPad so they would feel better
prepared to instruct their students on the components of iMovie. They can then later allow
students create movie projects across all parts of the curriculum.
The majority of instruction will follow an instructivist approach. The initial instruction will be
highly structured, with demonstrations of iMovie components followed by learner practice, and
then a quick performance assessment by the instructor regarding the component. Learning
outcomes will be communicated clearly prior to instruction. When learners have completed
instruction regarding the components of iMovie, the approach will turn constructivist. Learners
will create iMovie projects, using the components taught in the instructivist approach. Learners
will share ideas and learn from others projects to improve their own.

Attention
Perceptual Arousal
Ask learners, Have you ever wondered how to incorporate movie making with your iPad into instruction?
Show examples of iMovies created by students.
Inquiry Arousal
Ask learners what to brainstorm ways theyd like to incorporate movie making into their classrooms.
Ask learners to consider what special steps or components they believe are necessary
for movie making with the iPad.
Variability
Remind learners that movie making is a flexible process and after they learn the steps
to movie making, theyll be able to create movies at their own pace.
Relevance
Goal Orientation
Learners will be informed that they will be learning how to use the app iMovie to
record, edit, and create movies, so that they can instruct their students on how to do so.
Motive Matching
Based on needs assessments, students are interested in a combination of instructor led
instruction as well as peer-to-peer instruction.
9
Tell students the instruction begins with the instructor leading learners through
demonstrations of the various steps of using iMovie. The instruction ends with sharing
of ideas and movies.

Should the learners require learning materials in addition to the instructors demonstrations, an instructional guide similar to the instructors is provided via a website. The instructional guide is available at this website: https://sites.google.com/site/imovieontheipad/home
Part 5b: Formative and/or Summative Assessment Materials
The performance assessment will be ongoing throughout the instruction. The instructor will
provide guidance and ideas for improvement along the way.
The learners will engage in self-assessment of their iMovie projects as they share their projects
with others. There are no formal assessment materials for this course.
Learners can partake in an exit survey to assess the effectiveness of the course.
The survey is available here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Z-

Part 5c: Technology Tool Rationale
The following technology tools will be used to support the learning project:
Technology
Tool
Rationale
iPad (iOS 7) This piece of technology was selected due to its newfound and fairly
common presence in schools.
iMovie app This app was selected because of its user friendly, simple interface. The
iMovie app also produces quality videos.
Google Forms Google forms were used to collect data due to the ease of making them
available to learners, and also due to the option of making data available
immediately.
Projector with
HDMI input
A classroom or compute lab projector allows the use to connect via Apple
TV (and an HDMI cable) with their iPads. This allows them to project the
11
iMovie app and give demonstrations.
Part 6. Evaluation
As mentioned in Part 5b- Formative/Summative Evaluation Materials, there are no formal
assessments given for this instructional design project. However, considering that instructional
design starts with the end in mind, evaluative measures using Kirkpatricks Four Level Evaluation model can be applied to this project to gauge learners understanding.
Kirkpatricks Four Level Evaluation Model
Level I- Learner Reaction
Questions asked: Did the instruction meet your needs? Was it easy to follow and understand?
Were you able to create a 1 minute iMovie with little assistance?
Tools needed: Google Form evaluative survey available at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Z-
4favjEXiWqwwIQe2n_jtaE4S258QuieTZw1TbZHA/viewform
Description: These questions can be asked orally, or feedback can be given via a Google form or
paper/pencil methods.
Level 2- Learning
Questions asked: Learners will be asked to assess their learning gains made in regards to each
objective.
Tools needed: Google Form evaluative survey available at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Z-
4favjEXiWqwwIQe2n_jtaE4S258QuieTZw1TbZHA/viewform
Description: Give learners the URL to evaluate the course and learning gains. The URL is also
available in the learners guide website, on the left hand menu.
Level 3- Behavior
Questions asked: Have you used iMovie personally yet? Having you used iMovie with students
yet? How have you used it?
Tools needed: Google Form Follow Up Survey
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TAVqgOcXtxPGECY6yLUmTYa6bVb25K0qFwy3MdfdEyg/
viewform
Description: These questions can be asked a few weeks the instruction has finished, seeing if
learners have transferred their learning. These questions can be sent via email, and assessed
through a Google form URL. These results will determine if a follow up training needs to take
place.
Level 4- Results
Questions asked: Once transferred to the students, did the instruction (movie making) have an
impact on students learning? Tools needed: Dependent upon learners needs and survey results from Level 3. A synchronous, face to face sharing session could be scheduled. An asynchronous, learning forum share could be
scheduled via the districts LMS, My Big Campus. A student survey could be distributed via a Google Form URL.
Description: This question evaluates the long term impact, organizational impact of the
12
instruction on learners, and subsequently, students. A roundtable discussion would be an ideal
format to share thoughts, as well as through a sharing forum online. Another possibility would be
to survey the students on their thoughts regarding movie making in school and using the app
iMovie. The instructor will need to determine the best possible way to evaluate Level 4- Results,
which will also be based on the Level 3- Behavior survey results as well.
Part 7. Subject Matter Expert (SME) Review
The Subject Matter Expert who agreed to evaluate the Instructional Design for the iMovie on the
iPad for Teachers project is Jeanette Winslow, a technology coordinator at East Helena Public
Schools. Mrs. Winslow has many years of experience as a technology coordinator, as well as
experience with instructing teachers on how to use new technologies. The instructors guide and learners guide were made available to her. The eight question evaluation survey was created in Google Docs and made available to Jeanette the week of November 25
th, 2013. Mrs. Winslow
completed the survey on December 2nd
, 2013. We met December 3rd
, 2013, to discuss the survey
and materials more in depth, as well as her responses.
8. Evaluation Survey/Rubric
The purpose of this project is to develop an instructional unit to teach iMovie on the iPad to
teachers. Teachers will then have the skills to teach iMovie to students, thus giving students the
ability to use iMovie in various educational ways.
Project Goal: After 1.5 hours of instruction, elementary teachers will be able to create a one
minute video project using the app iMovie on the iPad, while also making use of iMovies editing features.
Please evaluate the following instructional materials prepared by Marne Bender. These
materials support the instruction and learners.
List of materials:
Instructor Guide set of instructions to be used by the instructor. Learner Guide- set of screenshots and directions to be used by the

9. Report of Expert Review
My SME, Jeanette Winslow, a technology coordinator from my district, gave me great feedback
on each question of my survey. The discussion is broken down by each question.
Question 1 After reviewing the learners guide, made available online, Jeanette rated its accuracy as yes. Mrs. Winslow thought directions were easy to understand, but said the guide would benefit from
screenshots or instructional videos.
Question 2 Mrs. Winslow said yes for the appropriate nature of the learners guide. She said it seemed appropriate for adult learners.
Question 3
Jeanette answered this question with a yes, that the learners guide will help learners achieve the overall goal. She pondered the idea of adding how to do the iMovie trailers as well.
Question 4
Jeanette answered this question with a mostly. She felt that including a link to the next objective on the prior objective would create a better flow. She also expressed concern with the
lack of screenshots to provide guidance for the instructor. She also though demonstration videos
would clarify exactly how to perform the objectives further.
Question 5
Mrs. Winslow answered this with a yes. The technology included is appropriate and will help learners achieve their learning goals. She thought that clarifying whether or not participants
would be provided a free app code of iMovie or would use the school iPads with iMovie already
installed would be helpful.
Question 6
This question was answered with a mostly. Jeanette said the addition of screenshots would tremendously help the instructor in completing the project. She said taking the instructors background knowledge, or lack thereof, should guide the instructors guide a bit better. Question 7
Mrs. Winslow answered this question with yes. She felt the objectives scaffolded appropriately and followed a logical order. She wondered if some of the objectives were too large and if they
possibly need to be broken down into more objectives, rather than a series of sub objectives.
Question 8
14
Jeanette emphasized that including screenshots or demonstration videos for the instructor as key
to aiding in their understanding. She thought this course would be excellent for the district as it
would meet a key need with teachers in the district at this time. She was curious about
assessment and whether or not any checking in would be done with the teachers further down the
road.
10. Comments on Suggestions
Based on the survey results and feedback from my SME, the most work needs to be done with
the learners and instructors guides. My SME commented on how it wasnt the easiest to follow. To address that, I will add additional links to each objective, linking it to the previous objective
and next objective. The addition of screenshots was also discussed. I am in the process of
creating these screenshots so they will be added to the final instructors guide. The need for visual and text paired in the instructors guide will aid in comprehension of the materials. I also plan on making sure instructional text match the screenshots and are in close
proximity. My SME also was concerned with how the instructors background knowledge would be addressed in the instructors guide. With this concern in hand, I plan on having a few peers from a variety technological backgrounds review the instructors guide and give feedback on improvements as well.

11. Reflective Synthesis Paper
Initially with this course, I thought instructional design would be much like my current
career choice of teaching. Upon hearing the phrase instructional design I immediately thought, Lesson planning! I can do this! Little did I know how different instructional design would be from lesson planning.
Instructional design differs in the sense that it creates a learning environment that provides the
learners with the necessary materials and setting for learning experiences. Instructional design is
based in research based learning theories and can take on a variety of pedagogical approaches.
Instructional design is a lot like fly fishing, one of my favorite hobbies to take on when I
have a break from teaching. Instructional design follows the flowing, iterative ADDIE model,
starting with analysis. What are the needs, overall learning goals, and learners characteristics? When fly fishing, one must prepare and analyze considerably before just heading out. What flies
will be necessary for the body of water youre intending to fish? Are there any constraints, such as weather and the time of year to consider? Research at fly shops, through the internet, and
examination of previous fishing trip journal entries will need to be examined, which leads to
design. In instructional design, considerations toward learning outcomes and delivery of
instruction are done. With fly fishing, one will need to determine prior to fishing how the fly will
be delivered, either via a dry fly or nymph form. The development phase has to do with
developing tools, using materials, and developing a prototype for instruction. This is the phase of
fly fishing that is so much like instructional design; the fly fisher must prepare the tools, put into
play the chosen design (fly), and test the design to see whether or not theyll be successful. The iterative, free flowing design of ADDIE works well with fly fishing because fly fishermen must
change and reevaluate whether or not the fishing is successful. This phase smoothly moves into
the next phase, implementation. Through testing, and collecting feedback, instructional designers
and fishermen are able to determine which design specifications work best for the current design,
or river, in the fly fishermens case. Feedback for fishermen can be delivered from the fish (or lack thereof!) or from peers who join along on the fishing trip. The last phase of ADDIE,
evaluation, uses feedback, continuous analysis, revisions, and summative evaluation to determine
the success of the instructional design. With fly fishing, a successful day is determined through
reflection, analysis, feedback-typically provided through concrete
Part #1 of my project was based on the beginnings of the ADDIE model (Larson and
Lockee, 2013). This model provided the framework for my instructional design project. It helps
keep the designed organized and complete. Part #1 focused on the learners needs and the
learning context.
Part #2 of my project really got interesting and challenging for me. It was difficult to step
back from the teacher role and put together a product that will be used by other teachers. It
opened my eyes to all the details that go into designing instruction. I appreciated going through
the process and despite the complications and frustrations, it really helped me think about all of
the components of instructional design and how important even the little things are.
While instructional design has its similarities to lesson planning, the differences I learned
throughout this course really opened my eyes to how large of a field instructional design is. As
for my teaching career, it will benefit in many ways from this course. I plan on creating some
project-based learning modules using design processes based in instructional design. Id like to spend more time on the evaluation section to make sure I am creating the best instructional
product for my students. While I plan on applying many instructional design tenets to my
16
classroom, I also plan on using my instructional design project with adult learners through
teacher pupil related instruction (PIR) days. Ive really enjoyed teaching adult learners how to use technology and have pondered making a slight career change. Instructional design would
play in largely in designing workshops and sessions for adult learners!
