School leaders are provided with a step-by-step guide to create a video recording using Photo Booth on a Mac laptop to share lessons learned and experiences gained from professional development opportunities. The guide outlines how to open Photo Booth, start video recording using the video icon, focus on the camera light while recording, end the recording, organize thoughts before recording, and copy the finished recording to the desktop for storage and transport. The purpose is to allow school leaders to reflect on their learnings and share their perspectives with others back home.
