=**Creation**= I first went on the Internet to find free music downloads. I found two I liked, Army Angels and Tank Battles. This gave me the idea to find photos of the United States Army. I found several images and downloaded them to my desktop. I then opened the Windows Movie Maker program. I added all the pictures and then arranged them the way I liked them. I added each song to see which one I liked the best. I worked with the animation and transitions for each slide. I added a title page in which I changed the background color and animated the text. I also added a credits page at the end using the same background and text color. One one of the slides I added a caption with a quote that I liked. Finally, I was able to publish my video onto you tube.

=**Challenges**= I have used this program before, but not this new version. My biggest challenge was trying to use the knowledge I already had and convert it to this new program. There were several options that I really had to search to find. This took much longer than I would have liked.

=**What I learned**= When searching for the options and tools I knew were available somewhere, I learned a lot about the program. I was able to see new tools and how the program is organized. I didn't think I would like it at first but after I really got into it and started playing, I loved it. I really liked this activity.
