Editing Video

As we have been working on editing video in our graduate course, I have wondered how I could incorporate this type of lesson into my classroom. My students have a hard enough time typing their names in a word document; so how can I ask them to edit clips of video? I thought about giving my students clips of video and focusing on adding transition or music or changing color. Giving them clips of video of themselves would keep them engaged in the activity. As much as I would like my students to be able to clip video, at their level I feel it would be too challenging. However, I would have already set some basics that if the next grade's teacher wanted to use the same program, he/she would be able to build on the skills they already have. It will be interesting to try this in my class. It was definitely be a learning process for both me and my students.
