Materials- Recourses- Strategies Materials: Laptops to follow up with me. A big screen for me to show them the steps. I’m going to use the software itself to present and create the video at the same time

because the software explains every step in details once you sign up.

Recourses: A video that talks generally about the software. Sticky notes to share their questions or answers. Strategies: Give the teachers 3 topics and ask them to choose one and write it on the sticky notes and

give it to me so we can choose the most wanted one and start a video about it.
