    • Teacher Instruction
    1. Teachers should explain the file extensions of image,audio,video
    2. Make the Students to covert a video from one format to the other.
    3. While teaching use the words “format factory” and “convert”, etc. They need to be familiar with those words.
    4. Teachers should have the material video files for the exercise
    5. Explain to the students why we would need to convert the format of the audio/video files.
    6. Point out aspect ratio to the students. If you only make the picture/video broad or long the people and other real-life objects in the picture/video will not look proper. We should try and not change the aspect ratio. If you want a picture in different aspect ratio (say you need a square picture but have a rectangular one), cropping may be a better option.
