first word of a given topic [supplied by the Teacher - see suggestions below] and then speak on the topic for 1 minute.
3. If a team member hesitates, or uses Aaaarr, the
teacher will ask the next member to take over and continue to speak on the

Bicycle Maintenance: A comprehensive presentation Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: Literacy Australian Curriculum General Capability: Personal and social capability Australian Curriculum General Capability: ICT Capability Cooperative Learning Activity
Teacher instructions: You are going to divide the students into pairs and get them to view a very comprehensive video on bike maintenance [below]. For the class, you are going to break this long video down into 7 short videos of approximately 20 minutes each. Allocate one short video to each pair. Once each pair has their section,
the
pair is going to work on reducing their segment from 20 mins to only 2mins by
getting out the main points. Each pair is going to present their segment to the class in a way that is easy to understand.
Student Process 1. View your segment of the following video. Your teacher has already broken it up into 7 short videos of 20mins each. Your ALL-IN-ONE Bike Maintenance Tutorial. How To Service A Bicycle. 2hours20mins
2. Your pair is to reduce your segment of 20 mins down to 2mins. To do this: a. View your segment and take notes individually about what you think are the main points. b. Together share with each other "the relevant points". Are they the same? c. Discuss the relevant points them with each other and reach concensus about the most relevant. d. Time the segments. You might need to reduce this again by splicing the video using one of the following YouTube videos [there is a range here] How To COMBINE
YouTube Videos
This uses Kapwing - a collaborative online video editor.
3. You now have a video of 2mins.
Now for your presentation! 4. Work out the places where you will stop the video and create a short presentation in Prezi. 5.
Reflection. The whole video of
140 mins has been reduced down to 14mins. What did you think of the new
presentations? How has your understanding of bike maintenance increased?
What did you think of of Kapwing?
Create a simple survey in Survey Monkey to get feedback from your classmates about the videos, bike maintence and Kapwing.
