Whew!!!! I finally got it working. To solve my dilemma, I ended up using an online file converting website to convert the original .mov files to .avi. For some reason my computer attempted the .avi files just fine and kept the audio with it. One downfall of going this route is that by converting the files, I lost some of the quality of the actual videos. They seem more blurry from a distance than the originals. Once I had all of the video clips converted to the .avi file type it was very easy to work with Windows Movie Maker to create our poetry masterpiece. I actually downloaded the newest Live version of the program and was very pleased with the ease of using it.
I did learn a few things during the actual filming of the video clips. I had to film about 16 different shots/clips with different students. While filming it seemed like the sound levels were equal between the various students however once they were loaded onto the movie maker program the volume varies a bit. This could also have something to do with the conversion of the files. Another thing that I learned was that my camera has a tendency to auto-focus at random times. Not sure what makes it do this but I noticed that it only happens when I am actually holding the camera instead of placing it on a stable object. I coud e compensating for my shaky hands.
