The document invites participants to attend an optional hands-on workshop to make a 1-minute video using Movie Maker while enjoying wine or cider. Participants are instructed to download Movie Maker, assemble 10-12 photos or images related to their work, select background music without copyright restrictions, set up YouTube and Twitter accounts, and bring their laptop and materials to the workshop where they will produce their video in under 30 minutes. A storyboard template is provided to plan out the visuals and audio for their video.

1. ESP-Alpha Xi Chapter Invites You to….
A Video and a Beverage
There is no better way to learn a new technology skill than to “just do it.” This event is an optional “hands-on”
extension of the 25 Terrific Technology Tools for Extension Educators workshop taught by Dr. Barbara O’Neill
Participants will make a 1-minute video using Movie Maker while enjoying some fine New Jersey wine or apple
cider. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll produce your video, save it on your computer, and upload it to YouTube.
Wednesday, October 26
Grand Ballroom B
Drop in any time from 9 pm to 10 pm after State’s Night Out
Here’s what you will need to do between now and the workshop:
♦ Download Movie Maker onto your computer. If you are using Windows, and Movie Maker is not preloaded
(e.g., on older versions of Windows), you can download it for free at https://support.microsoft.com/en-
us/help/14220/windows-movie-maker-download. It should be preloaded if you have Windows 10 and the icon
for Movie Maker looks like a filmstrip.
♦ Assemble 10-12 photos or graphic images related to your work in Extension or photos from the ESP meeting,
ESP tours, and Cape May. These images can be:
o Actual photos (if they include clientele, be sure you have a photo release from them)
o Images created in Canva (if you know how to use it) that can combine photos, graphic images, and/or
text. Make sure that any graphic images that are used do not have copyright restrictions. A good source
of images is Creative Commons: https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-2.0/
Use the storyboard below to determine the order of the photos or other images that you’ll use in your movie.
♦ Another option is to “go live” and record video and audio from your cell phone and use that file (transferred to
your computer). You’ll also need to use the storyboard below to prepare your video. Write down in order what
you will say and do as you are being recorded.
♦ Select background music that is about one minute long and download it to your computer. This, too, must be free
of copyright restrictions. A good source of music without copyright restrictions is Creative Commons:
https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/arts-culture/arts-culture-resources/legalmusicforvideos/.
Note that there are links for various free music sources. This link has some good instrumental music around the
one minute mark: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/David_Szesztay/.

2. ♦ Set up a YouTube account with a username and password if you do not already have one. To do this, go to
https://www.youtube.com/. You will need YouTube to publish your video, once you have finished it, to give it a
digital link. If you’ve never used Twitter, set up a Twitter account at www.twitter.com to use to share your
video. For Twitter, you’ll need a username/handle (e.g., mine is @moneytalk1) and a password.
♦ Bring a laptop computer and your storyboard, digital images (photos, Canva images, etc. saved to your
computer), and music clip to the workshop and you will be good to go.
♦ Also be sure to write down and bring the username and password for your YouTube and Twitter accounts.
♦ If you have time, please look at these two videos: If not, no worries. We’ll cover the basics of Movie Maker at
the workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZZij3NNyVg and http://screencast.com/t/WvfafjJT9.
♦ Here is a sample one-minute video that I prepared for a professional association to show you what you will be
able to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRSfbV5fVI
