Project: Record a video with a book recommendation and share it on YouTube

Would you like to record a video showing your book recommendation and share it on YouTube?

You need to use 3 tools:

  1. Powerpoint
  2. Screencast 'O Matic
  3. A classroom channel on Youtube. To create it you need to have a collective Gmail account. The teacher will decide whether students have access to this account or not.

Your teacher needs to create and manage a classroom channel on YouTube. Follow these steps:

Step 1

This presentation will be the support of your video. Use images and words or very short phrases. You can have Ana's presentation as a reference.
