The skills for future science teacher are acquired through the pre-service science teacher education program at the university. One of the most important for science teacher’s skills is presentation skills using information technology. This study tried to explore the use of video laboratory report to develop pre-service science teacher presentation skills using information technology in Science in Daily Life Course provided by one of the undergraduate teacher education programs. From this study, pre-service science teachers indicated that the use of video in reporting laboratory activity, supported by feedback from the lecturers and YouTube as the media to upload and share their video had enhanced their skills to do laboratory activity presentation in the form of video.
