Week 34 – Self Presentation

Week 34 – Self Presentation

Updated 03. August 2021

The first week you will get to know each other. However, there are many new faces, places and stories. It might be difficult to remember it all. Therefore we are going to help each other out by sharing our stories through short digital stories.

For the screen recordings you can use Screencast-o-matic, or Screencastify, or Quicktime on a Mac.

Assignment – Self presentation

By the end of next Friday (the 27.) your assignment is to produce the following:

• • A short digital story that tells a little about yourself. Where do you come from, what are your interests, and so on

  • You are making this presentation for your peers: fellow students and teachers.

Digital storytelling

If you like, have a look at the introduction to digital storytelling and see thought the videos.

There are a lot of different tools that can be used to tell digital stories. For now, we are going to focus on a few:

• Presentation software, e.g Powerpoint, Google Presenter etc, to organise the content

• Screen recording software, e.g Screencast-o-matic, to make a screen recording of the presentation with your voice

• Do not worry if the video is not as you want it the first time. Just make a new one, and post the final version to the shared Facebook group.

Copyright and images

In private settings you can do pretty much what you like with any image you find online. If you are going to use an image in any setting that might be considered public, it becomes a different story. Making av video presentation for a school, a company, an organisation etc is definitely public. Even if the video is only about personal stuff you can not include other peoples' images, given that the result is publicly available.

Note that you always should be restrictive when it comes to use pictures of other people.

As far a copyright is concerned there are some precautions that you can, and should, do:
