Your assignment is to make a short educational video that will illustrate a basic concept. Think something like Sesame Street! You must be the onscreen host for this project, and you must have voiceover narration for the project ("Hi, I'm Dave, and we will show you the difference between in and out.") You will introduce the topic and tell about it, and each time a concept is mentioned, you must also give reinforcement by placing a title on top of the video clip. |
