- VIDEO: Presentation Tools
- Watch this video before we meet and write a blog post about what you learned. Please put APRIL VIDEO somewhere in your post title.
- If you watching the videos from school on an iPad, follow these directions:
- Click on the link to open it in Safari. (If it opens in the YouTube app, close it. Instead, copy the link and paste it in Safari, because it needs to open in Safari.)
- Select the button to override the block.
- It will open up a new tab where you'll log in. Leave this tab open after you log in.
- Then come back here and click on the link again. (You may have to completely close the YouTube app before you do this so it will work.)
REQUIRED and due in May: Create a presentation using one tool you learned about in MILI (Educreations, Animoto, Audioboo, etc.) that highlights what you learned in MILI. Here are examples from 08-09 participants, 09-10 participants, 10-11 participants, 11-12 participants, and 12-13 participants. (NOTE: Past participants may have been shown how to use different presentation tools. You will need to use a tool you learned about in MILI.)
