A reflection on my own multimedia sources

Hello guys, today I will talk about my own experience as a teacher last week  related to the multimedia elements. From that day and on, there have been some students who ask me about the technological sources that I used in my lesson. If you want to get a clear idea on that, I suggest you to read this post and here you will get what you were asking for.  Maybe it is too late you might think to write about it as it has passed some days but I cannot forget that moment as it was too special for me.

My topic was in grammar and the first impression that you get when you have to explain grammar, or learn it is like ugh it will be very boring and too much information at the same time. As our subject is on how to apply multimedia technology in second language teaching, I will show you the way how I put this theory in practice. To be honest, it took me a while to think in details about that, but I think in the end it was worth the time. During the whole subject that we are still in process, we have learned how to use multimedia so as to make the lesson interesting and not boring to hear or watch. Lets waste no more time and get straight into the point.

First of all, I started my lesson by using the video Projector and with PowerPoint and I tried to make use of many features of interactive PowerPoint by applying many of them, but no need to mention them all as you were present there that day. Secondly, through the usage of another medium that is the blackboard and colorful chalks I made the rules more understandable and easy to find the differences. Over and above that, visual images were another element that made the topic appropriate for fifth grade students. Moreover, another medium that I applied was a video music made with Video-Maker  which was funny to watch and served as a summary of all the adjectives mentioned in the class. The last but not the least, I have also used another source that is Hot Potato. With Hot Potato I created two exercises the first was made with gap filling and the other was made with crossword. In my opinion, this app helps you a lot if you want to make your own exercises without taking them by someone else.

To conclude, all these media helped me with my first lesson, and as the weeks pass there are everyday new technological elements that we encounter by our friends' presentations, which can be used in our future classes or in other presentations. By posting our own technological sources we can help each other in getting a clear idea on what other ones to use, do not hesitate to do that.
Thank you for reading it, I hope it was useful. ;)
