Brief: You need to create a digital ‘about me’. This can be a video or a screencast with voice over. It should include both information to introduce yourself and also a professional you. Think about your skills and aspirations. It should be recorded and saved as a YouTube file so that you may embed it into your blog. The duration should be approximately 2-3 minutes.
Note: Students selected a private setting and then invited just myself as Tutor to view.
