Hello,
For your final oral task I want you to make a video in which you describe an object or gadget that you really like, but you also need to talk about its otigin and evolution. The idea is to prepare a Power Point presentation and use a website (https://screencast-o-matic.com/) for creating your video. You can use a different software if you wish, but you need to post your at YouTube or uploaded to a cloud (Drive per ce) and share the link with the class. The following video is a brief tutorial.
