9B - Tutorials

I don't have to explain to you what a tutorial is, do I? Most people have seen loads of them in all kinds of situations; you can learn to change the chain on your bike, to draw the perfect eyeliner line, to master quests in computer games, to solve difficult math problems, to tie a fancy knot, you name it!


But making a tutorial is a different matter... You need to have total understanding of the subject you want to share with others, you have to be very thorough in your explanations and you must create an instruction that is clear and obvious and possible to follow for the viewer.

But no challenge is too big for you guys, right? Right!

So; I want you to make a video tutorial, teaching other people something you are really good at. You need to figure out what you're good at first ;), then make a clear script to follow and lastly record it and publish it and link it on your blog.

We'll go through MoveNote - which is a very simple video program, but if you choose another program or platform to work in, that is fine by me!

You will work with this on Monday week 13 and Monday 14. On Monday week 15 we will spend the lesson watching the tutorials, so make sure you have checked the technique before that. (Connect your computer to the Smartboard and make sure you get both image and sound working!)
