[Flex Class] YOUTUBE CAMP FOR GAMERS: 4 Weeks To Start Your Own Channel!

This 4 week flexible schedule course will guide students through the steps necessary to personalize their YouTube channel, learn to record, edit, create a thumbnail and upload their first video so they can share their content on YouTube. Flexible schedule means that there are no live meetings, but students are still expected to complete assignments or projects by specific due dates and also to interact with each other in the online classroom. 

What this class will look like:
1. Each week, a short prerecorded video tutorial will be provided for the learner to watch. These videos will build on each other every week and it is important to complete the weekly assignment before the following week's content comes out. 
2. Students will be expected to take a weekly quiz, using the platform "Kahoot". This will show me that each learner fully understands the content being presented. A link will be provided in the classroom. 
3. Students will be expected to interact with each other in the online classroom by responding to at least 2 other students' comments.
4. Teacher will be active in the online classroom throughout the week and will offer tips, encouragement, and other feedback to each student.
