Requirements
Project sample:
My co-workers and I worked on completing a video conversion list. It was fun and enjoyable to watch different movies, short stoires, culture, and etc. Once the videos were edited, we will be able to put them on Canvas so all students can enjoy them.
How to Make the Video
*Open DVD in VLC to record. Use Screenflow to film the DVD. Adjust the time in order to meet the length of the film. Then edit the film.
How to Edit the Video
*When you stop record and it will show up to be ready to edit. The most important to do before start edit is save in the file called Language Backup captured movies. So it won't be lost or messed up to start again. Then crop the screen to fit the video. Change to match Canvas size required. Save it again and done!
What to do as Tutor
A student who is looking to improve their ASL skills makes an appointment with me. During the appointment, I help them by providing feedback so that their skills can improve.
Skills I gained from Internship:
* American Sign Language.
* Develop teaching skills.
* Gain technological skills.
* Learned how to work with a teacher in assisting of the education of students.
