Movenote

Movenote is a tool that we used to record ourselves, there are some advantages and some disadvantages to this tool, first I will tell you how it works. There is movenote on the IPad and the computer but I prefer the IPad one, if you have it on the IPad it will be much easier. When you open it will for you to sign in or sign up, when you already made your account, there will be an option to make a new movenote, click it and it will come up.

If you to put a presentation to the movenote, if you have google drive, go there and find your presentation and click the "i" button and it will show "open in" click that and you'll find movenote. If you want to start your recording click the red button, and if you want to pause click it again. I think it isn't really a effective way to use movenote as a presentation, I think it is good to use it when you can't be there. And if you use it on the computer you'll have a lot of problems so just use the IPad.

Roman Empire

In class we are currently learning about the Roman empire. The setup that we are using is with groups, we were learning about this topic for almost 5 weeks. Our teacher made groups for us, my groups was Thomas, Gabriel, and me. When we got our groups, we had to pick a topic about this empire. My group chose the expansion of the Roman empire, then we had to learn about our topic for 4 weeks. 

After we learned the topic, we wrote a script about it and the groups should record themselves in front the camera. Our teacher said that he have to try to know your script so we have more eye contact. We used Movenote as a tool to record our selves. We were given time to record and talk to the camera, our group was done with the recording, then we realized that three of us had some mistakes in that video. So we just had to record again and try to make it good as possible, we recorded 3 times before we got as good as possible. After all the groups finished their videos. Then we watched all the videos that the other groups made. And after this blog read my other blog about Movenote.
