Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise with us in the form of a Best Practice Lecture for the upcoming Media Arts Intensive! Please see the details below for guidance on creating your video presentation.

Preparing Video Presentations

  • Please use the Google Slide template provided.
    Use the cover slide prepared by the Davis team - added to your personal template. You are welcome to move between your presentation and another program, webpage, or video. Additionally, you may use Adobe Spark or similar programs to build your presentation. However, please use the presentation template we provide while retaining your vision and needs for the presentation. Use any formatted slide that suits your needs, you are not expected to use every slide. The template is provided to ensure visual consistency and cohesion between the various presentations throughout the intensive.
  • Begin the presentation by introducing yourself (see slide template).
  • Create a video of your presentation using any software or app you like. We suggest Zoom, mmhmm, Keynote, PowerPoint, Loom, or iMovie.
  • If possible, show yourself in the video to assist attendees requiring ADA accommodations. We realize if you use video clips, etc. this may not be possible for the entire video.
  • Your audience is primarily art/CTE teachers.
  • If your presentation includes students or student work your submission must be accompanied by our consent form. Download the form here.

Tips for Creating Videos

  • Use gender-neutral language when possible. Please avoid saying “guys.”
  • Use a clear and professional tone.
  • Use a script or outline to focus and keep within time.
  • Choose a location with good lighting.
  • Limit background noise and distractions while recording.
  • Show student work when possible, and it’s always wonderful hearing from students too.
  • Edit as needed.
