Today we are going to step it up a notch before we get started with some curriculum work.
The first two tasks had you do a bit of tinkering with your headphones and your mic on your device(s). Now, it is time to use your camera and/or record your screen.

I have been playing with different screen recording and video editing software for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. There are TONS of options out there for all devices, so I am just going to talk about a few for you to try, but if you already use something else, by all means.

You can talk quicker than you can type or write, and you know what they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words". It follows that Video can be an invaluable resource for learning, but it also gives you another option for demonstrating your understanding.

A student from 1st semester submitted the video on the left as an optional assignment to earn some marks prior to the final exam. She got 10/10 !
She used an app called Procreate to write the text and screen recorded the video. She then used iMovie to edit and record her voice into it. She used a subtitle making app for the intro and the outro.
DON'T WORRY, I will show you some apps were it is a lot easier, and it will only be something quick and small if you like.
If you are using a COMPUTER
If you are using a COMPUTER
Try the Chrome Extension called LOOM
You need to have CHROME WEB BROWSER installed on your computer (Mac, Windows, Linux)
See the Video Below from a couple of years ago, and then the same lady last year with an update.
You do NOT need to purchase anything, and the PRO version is actually free for students, it just takes some time to get approved. The FREE version is fine for now!

Lots of Options Here
I messed around with a few, and DU Recorder seemed to work well enough (aka X Recorder). You can record everything that happens on your screen, and it records your voice. A mobile "Screen Cast" station in your hand.
Lots of creative uses. Even record your game play !
Give It a Try, and Just do a test recording to see if you can work it out.
If you are using iPhone/iPad
If you are using iPhone/iPad
You can use a built in iOS recorder with no extra downloads required. However, they are reports of it crashing, so it night not be stable.
I found the App called RECORD IT , to work well.
Give it a try, and just do a test recording to see if you can get it to work. You could even record some game play!
This kid has it figured out, see below.
NOTE : Free version only records at 480p
Here is another option called AZ Recorder
Here is a demo of using the built in screen recorder

Option 1
TEACH ME SOMETHING using your screen and/or camera to record a "lesson" or tutorial. It does not have to be a serious teaching lesson (BUT KEEP IT APPROPRIATE). Maybe you know a good card trick, or want to share a talent such as juggling or playing an instrument. If all else fails, share a good joke (has to have video).

Record yourself with commentary playing an online or video game. Or, just do a selfie video record, or record your cat/dog with some of your own voice commentary. I just want to know you are comfortable with the technology. Instead of Unit Tests, we will be doing Unit Assignments, and you will have some choice on how you demonstrate your learning.
These skills will help, and they are good to know anyway.

Not many of us like to hear our own voice, let alone see ourselves on video. I hate it. But sucked it up and did some online game play for a sample record.
