6. Put your presentation together
Using your research information, begin to put your presentation together. You will need to find images and a video or two to include in your presentation as well. Be sure to download and insert any videos that you use rather than using an internet link. This will ensure that there will be no buffering issues. Once your presentation is put together and includes effective animations, transitions, images, and a minimum of one video to showcase the career; please record your timings and narrate your presentation. The video below will show you how to record timings and narrations. It will also show your how to export as an MP4.
