Module 8 - Video Presentations

We completed the first class of this CS journey. I’m very happy that we all succeeded. We worked on creating a presentation video on a computer science topic as a group. I enjoyed working with my team, and this was great practice for our capstone project.

Part 1 - Video Presentations

Each group did fantastic job on creating videos and here are the three videos for reviews.

 1. Wearable Technology - Data Dolphins:

This presentation about Software as a Service (SaaS) was informative and engaging. The team did an excellent job of explaining the concept of SaaS, starting with its definition and moving into its many benefits for businesses. They highlighted how SaaS solutions can improve efficiency and reduce costs, which is essential for modern companies. I particularly enjoyed the clear examples they provided, like well-known platforms such as Salesforce and Google Workspace, which helped connect the ideas to real-world applications. The video was well-produced, with high-quality visuals that supported their points effectively. It was clear that the team collaborated well, showing a strong understanding of the topic and making the presentation enjoyable to watch.

Part 2 - This Week's Recap

We focused on creating our video project this week. After some discussion, our team decided not to rely on PowerPoint for the video. Instead, we chose to use a video design tool that offered more creative flexibility. The tool came with a wide variety of features, including customizable backgrounds and music options, which really enhanced the quality of our final product. It was exciting to explore the different ways we could make the video more engaging and visually appealing.

I truly enjoyed watching everyone’s videos. Seeing the different approaches gave me new ideas for how we can continue to improve. This experience is excellent preparation for the upcoming capstone project, where creating an effective video will likely be important. I'm also eager to explore other video creation tools and platforms. There are so many available online, and I think experimenting with them could help make future videos even better.
