Registering, uploading and checking your video
  • Register your choice of model ahead of time (dibs) by entering into the homework slot ("Model Video") your model choice BUT ONLY IF YOU INTEND TO MAKE THE VIDEO.  For instance, if your choice was the Traffic Basic model, you would write, into the Comments-to-Teacher:
    Sample Models / Social Science / Traffic Basic
  •   
  • Click on this link to see what models other class members have chosen, so you can choose a different one.

  • Uploading: When your video is finished, upload both your video and also write the same name of the model into the Comments-to-Teacher that you did when you registered.

  • Checking: Go to View Homework, and make sure that the Model Video slot has the name of the model and a link to the video. Click on the video link, and make sure that it plays.  If it doesn't, go to the previous step, and make sure that what you're uploading is the correct video file.

Suggestions
  • First and most important: Find a video recording app.  Zoom is all right, but there are many others.  Do this as soon as possible.
  • Test your recording app
    • Record a 10 second trial video, and find and play back the recording.
    • Can it record your face and then also record you demoing the model?
    • Is it easy to find the video file?
  • Make an outline, or write your entire text.  It is not a problem if you choose to read while you are demonstrating.
  • Read the entire Info tab text to understand why the model was made, and try out each of the settings that you will demonstrate.
  • Show as much as possible rather than describing what the user  would see
  • Emphasize and demo what one would learn from running the model, with various slider settings.
  • I'm not interested in the Netlogo code -- do not spend any time on it.
