Then, they had to upload those videos in YouTube channel.The method of research was descriptive qualitative. The data taken from the process of developing a video started from planning to product evaluation. This study applied some steps in implementing PjBL that were demanding problem or question, sustained inquiry, authenticity, students’ voice and choice, reflection, critic and revision, and public product.
