This tutorial was particularly useful as in doing the tutorial, I was able to create a reflective self assessment tool for my link to practice observation and seminar.

Here is a screen recording of me going through the form I created, illustrating how teachers can use forms to collect student responses, or as a tool for personal data collection and self reflection. The video also shows how the responses to the form can be viewed as as summary of all questions, as individual responses, or anonymously by question.

One useful tool that I did not know about before completing the tutorial was how forms can format responses into visuals that you can copy and share.

These visuals are great for presenting data for personal use and could be extremely valuable in the classroom to visually represent the learning strengths and potential weaknesses of the class.

Lastly, the video illustrates how information from the form can be reformatted into a presentation that may be easier to share.

For my first tutorial I choose to undertake learning about video editing. Because I am not proficient with video editing I thought it would be good to start with the basics. As such, I decided to do the tutorial that focused on video editing using iMovie and ClipChamp. I chose to use ClipChamp as it can be accessed online through Microsoft 365 and it can therefore be accessed and edited on any device.  I found the tutorial relatively easy to follow despite the fact that it was slightly outdated as ClipChamp has replaced Microsoft video editor. As a result, there were certain sections of the tutorial that I had to improvise in order to achieve my intended result.

As evidence of my learning, I created a brief video introducing my pets. I used my recently acquired knowledge of transitions, music inclusion, captioning, clip cropping and clip speed adjustment to create the video.
