Last class day: Reminder

kba2 — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:49:01 +0000

Tomorrow is our last class, remember, at 9:40 am to 11:30am, in our same room. Videos are due. You can save them to Youtube or bring them in on a hardrive or post online in your own easily accessible way. We will watch and discuss each others’ videos and progress over the semester.

BTW, debates are posted to Youtube, but you seem to have to open the Video Manager Tab in our account to see them. Use as you see fit to express, using vocabulary and terms from our textbook, comments on your progress this semester in class. Remember the demo video for Mac imovie is in our youtube account and the librarians can help you access a free movie making software for PCs.
