Let the green screen fun begin!   

First, set up your set, and hang your green screen. I bought 1 yard of green fabric on clearance from a local sewing store for about $4.00.

Next, complete all teaching about your concept/s and have students draft their presentations. 

Next, if applicable, have the students finalize their drafts on their technology device/s.

Then, have them practice recording themselves presenting their projects. they need to do this a lot. Practice makes perfect.

Next, have them begin the recording process using Green Screen by DoInk. I suggest they record themselves in small chunks of their projects rather than one long recording session. 

Lastly, have students open iMovie on their devices, and import their green screen clips. In iMovie, they can add effects, splice, and publish their final work.
