Year 8A – Wednesday 3 June 2020
Year 8B – Thursday 4 June 2020
Today you are going to sign up and familiarise yourself with an online video making tool called mysimpleshow. (Some of you may already, to some extent, be familiar with it and may even have an account already.)
So, here is what you have to do today: (It is VERY important that you follow the instructions step by step!!)
1.
Watch the video on “How to Open an Account and join a Classroom”. (1:57 minutes long)
2.
Now go to Gmail and open the invitation email to the mysimpleshow team account. Then follow the instructions as explained in the video above, to join the classroom account. (If you already have an account, you obviously do not have to “sign up” but simply login to your account and then join the Team Account. HOWEVER, your account MUST use your SCHOOL G-mail.)
(I am about to send you an invitation to join – so, if it is not in your inbox yet, it should be there in a few minutes… If not, let me know IN HANGOUTS, please, so that I can quickly send you another invitation.)
3.
Watch the video below. It explains how to start making a video by uploading a script written in PowerPoint. Pay close attention!! (If you get a little bit lost, watch this video a few times…)
“Using Mysimpleshow“. (3:24 minutes long)
4.
Now, go to “Materials” in Schoology. Open the PowerPoint script (that I have already made for you to practice with) called “Why we study History” and download it onto your computer.
5.
Then upload the PowerPoint script to mysimpleshow and make the video on “Why we study History“! The purpose of the task is purely to give you an opportunity to get familiar with the mysimpleshow program.
(In the next lesson you will be making a video for assessment purposes on a topic that I will give to you in your next lesson.)
6.
Finally, let me know how you got on with this!
Send me a private message on Schoology (use the SAME mail-thread!!!) to confirm that you have completed the tasks as instructed today, plus send me the link to your mysimpleshow video.
