The project I am going to do is in partners with Alejandro Baquero.  The technology tool we are going to use is FIFA 13. We are going to discover how to make beautiful goals in FIFA, rabonas, tacles, acrobatic, celebrations. Also we are going to learn tape in computer screen. What we are going to learn is how to play better FIFA by doing the plays and trying our own. 

We are going to present it in a super video explaining how we did the goals, and show them in a gallery. It will be taped in tv and computer screen. We will edit it in Imovie and use slow pro in some goals and fast plays, and do the Top 10.
