Video with Teaching

     Video is a good tool which enriches the class and also appeals to students. It assists teachers with showing the main point in their class clearly.
     I think this tool is good for introducing some holidays or a simple idea with students, especially children who just start to learn English. If I use it in a grammar class, I would compose a short video with a grammar rule and music to teach students.  Each slide will contain just one idea. If I put the grammar rule first, then I will put a sample sentence after it and more slides with pictures showing how this rule can be used under what kind of situation. If it is a reading class, I would transform the short story or text we are going to read in to a storytelling video and play it after we cover the all reading. It not only will attracts students' attention and prevents them from getting bored but also can deepen their memory and provide them a brief review. But, it is significant and necessary to switch the images in video based on the age of students I teach. If they are children, providing them some comics or cutes images will be fine. However, if they are college students, the pictures in video should be changed.
     The ultimate goal of teaching not only resides on students' understanding but the cultivation of their interests. A good video clip with proper teaching can help students learn happily and efficiently.

It's a video I made with Animoto which briefly introduces the meaning of Easter.
