I need to dig into the artistic tools discussed in chapter 2. Initially, I was wary. I use an iMac at school, so I am comfortable with iMovie and even though some of my colleagues in other schools sing the praises of WeVideo, I do not want to pay for the subscription and I hate the watermark it leaves on the free version. I teach my students (who are not in my Media Arts class with the iMacs) to use Screencastify to create video projects on their Chromebooks. I use Pixlr and like it very much, so I am not sure I want to switch to iPiccy or Sumo Paint. But then again, I am acting like some of my teachers who don't want to adapt to new technologies. Shame on me! I should always be adding tools to my technology tool box!
Update September 2018: My new favorite video creation tool is Adobe Spark. It is so easy to use and I love that I can use it to also create posters and flyers. I may actually ditch PiktoChart for this one, too!
