Introduction

We’ll be going over the syllabus and doing some basic writing and assessment as we get started. And record a short video to introduce yourself to the class and your instructors

Learning objectives: During this module, students will...

Learn about the class

Learn more about

the UGA sports media program⁠

⁠

Produce an on-camera introduction to yourself

Assignment specifics

Activity 1_1: Produce a 60-75 second video introducing yourself to your instructors and the class.

You can just record yourself on your phone or on your computer, but please upload to Youtube, Google Drive, or another service and post a link to the #01intro channel for your instructor. DO NOT upload the video directly to Slack.

Have fun with it and be creative, but please include the following points:

Your name and what you prefer to be called, especially if it’s different from what shows up in ELC and Athena. Please mention accent marks or other things so we can all get it right.

Which pronouns you use (

the College of Education has good guidelines on this⁠

)

Your year in college and your major

Your hometown and high school

A little about your background in sports

What your dream job would be

What skills you’re most interested in learning or polishing.

Here are some suggestions for producing:

Write out what you want to say beforehand, but don’t just read a script. You want to feel natural.

Act like you’re talking to someone; don’t just stare at the screen and talk.

Control your background, including both the video background and the audio you can hear.

There are teleprompter apps you can use (both for this assignment and standup videos you’ll be producing later in class), but frankly they’re more trouble than they’re worth.

Here’s an example from Dr. Suggs:
