I put together a photo slide show at the end of each school year. I fill it with fun snapshots of the kids taken from my classroom. This has been an emotional year; I had an idea to take the show up a notch. I recorded a rap song to Eminem's Mockingbird. Using my MacBook Pro, I wrote the lyrics in Pages, recorded my vocals in GarageBand, exported it to iTunes, edited photos in iPhoto, and finally pieced it together using iMovie. The whole Apple iLife suite was involved! In all, I'd estimate that I put in about 20-25 hours into this four minute song. The kids seemed to have enjoyed it. I have no plans to post it on the web, it was just a song for my students, for that moment in time.
