Week - F2F Lesson - 19 May 2023

Dear Secondary One students

[The instructions given for the F2F lesson on 19 May and HBL lesson on 26 May may be different cross the level. Your teacher(s) may have a different plan for you for the remaining weeks of the Digital Skills Programme (DSP)].

We have come to the end of Term 2, and the end of the Digital Skills Programme (DSP). But before we draw the curtains on the learning of ICT in the DSP, there is a very useful skill that you can learn - Creating and editing a video!

Depending on the plans of your teacher and the progress of the class, you may either learn about iMovie in a teacher-guided class, or self-learn this useful tool on your own.

Have you ever watched videos on YouTube or vlogs and wish you can create instructional content like those YouTubers and Vloggers? This is the golden opportunity to learn how to do that now!

Let's take a look at some examples of them on YouTube:

Instructional video on how to create an electromagnet

Instructional video on how to do a jump shot

Instructions for Students:

You are required to:

1) Watch the steps in the video tutorials below to learn how to create an instructional video

2) Use iMovie to try creating a video

The video requirements:

There is no homework or assignment for iMovie due to the DSP drawing to a close.

Let's now check out the steps to create a video using iMovie!

(Pay attention to all the transitions and effects that are shown in the video. They are to provide you with examples so as to generate ideas about the video you are planning to create.

Remember that the topic you are creating should be about a tutorial video to teach someone something useful and good. So don't stray from the intended objective.

Be creative!)
