Vlogging Assignment: Please Read!!! @resvt @BenWhiteEdu @darcierankin @margaretmather3 #Vlog #StudentVlog

Vlogging is really personal.  You're sharing your truest self with your community, but also with the world.  We've discussed the importance of being genuine and letting go of what others think.  We've studied lots of vlogs and learned how to create films using WeVideo.

We choose our first vlogger TOMORROW!!!  We are so excited to start vlogging!!!  When your child gets to vlog, they should just relax and simply film their day!  The more vlogs we study, the more we realize how uniquely beautiful they all are!  Being different, being ourselves, is what makes them amazing!!!

When your child is chosen as the next vlogger, they must go to Google Classroom to review the rules they need to follow when making and editing their vlog.  Reminding themselves of the vlog structure before they start is important, so they are sure to get the necessary footage.   

Vlogs are a homework assignment.  We will continue to study vlogs and have classroom time to work on our vlogs, but kids need to put most of the film together at home.  If you do not have computer and/or internet access at home, your child will be given extra time at school to complete the assignment.  When your student is working on his/her vlog at home.  Please remind them that their vlog must follow the below guidelines:  (Remember, Anything they might need help with can be found in Google Classroom.  They can search "Google Classroom" and log in using their school email and password.)

Know the rules:

Vlogs Must:

(Make sure to get the necessary footage!)

Each vlog must start with a hook video then the title and date-See below expectations:

5) End with a hold on your face

After the hold on your face, don’t forget to:

6) Site music used (Don’t have to site WeVideo music)

-Remember to use http://makerbook.net/ to get awesome music.

Helpful hints:

*If your videos are out of order, go to the “lines” at the top right,

and organize your videos by name to get them in order!

*Organize the videos of your day FIRST!  

Then add in words and music on the other tracks!  
It makes editing so much easier!!!!

*You can highlight the different tracks and move them together if you need to!

Remember to:

*Be honest--don’t worry about what you look like or sound like or if your house is clean.

*Be thoughtful in your music choices--make sure we can hear the talking over the music.

*Site music used.

*Vlogs can’t be too long--Take out the unimportant parts. (Remember that transitions
are important!)

*Have fun!!!

Helpful FYI/EVERYTHING You Need:

Remember to go to Google Classroom for help!  You can access Google Classroom
through your school email--Look for the squares on the top right of the page.  Google
classroom has directions to help you upload photos & videos to your Drive and WeVideo
account, log in to WeVideo, & troubleshoot problems when making your film.

Remember to really secure the first part of your film, then the second, and so on.  It can be
hard to revise the first part of your film when you have a lot of footage that follows--So,
take your time and complete one part of your film before moving onto the next.  
Do your best and follow the above vlog directions/expectations closely.  
You do not want to have to make big changes/additions to the beginning of your vlog.
