Activity: 1. Choose a hardware device or software program you are very familiar with and feel comfortable explaining how it works. 2. If the tutorial will be written, use a word processing software (Word, Open Office, etc.) to list directions for the device you choose to describe. 3. If the tutorial will be a video, use a flip camcorder or digital camera to record yourself explaining and describing the device. You may also decide to use Jing, Movie Maker or Photo Story 3 and use images/graphics to explain your device. 4. Make sure you CITE YOUR SOURCES! Add an extra slide at the end of the video tutorial or list your sources at the bottom of the written tutorial. 4. Save your work to your home folder with the file name of "How To Use A ". Complete the file name with the device you chose to describe. 5. Wait for further instructions from the teacher before submitting the completed tutorial.** = =
