Split_Screen.MP4Split Screen: This will help you research will producing your own content. This is a great tool as you do not have to go in and out of apps. It is important when researching that we don't use copy and paste, rather we learn to summarise the research into our own words. This helps create our own understanding of the topic rather than copying someone. This is called breaking copyright! It takes lots of practise but 10 words of your own is better than 50 words of someone else.
