I believe that elementary kids could create a movie, and that it could be very educational and fun for them as well. However, I think that we as teachers REALLY need to understand the technology before we try to incorporate it into an assignment. The instructional values of an assignment like this could be numerous, mostly because movies can be made on just about every subject. I do think, though, that this assignment would require a lot more in depth technology instruction in the classroom, and I would probably recommend it for older grades.
I would definately want to use these programs in my classroom because I think it would be fun for the kids, and can be very educational. When I was doing my movie I had some of my younger siblings and cousin help me and they had a blast! I think that to incorporate movie making would expand learning and make things more hands on and creative.

That is awesome that you had younger kids help you. I think that having our students exposed to technology in school is a good idea as long as we create a balance between the technology and the concepts we are teaching.
