How do I use MultiMedia?

1. How do I use MultiMedia in my classroom?
A:MultiMedia is very useful to me. Because I am a language teacher, sounds or voice play an important role in steps of my teaching. In the past, I use Audio quite often to present the pronunciation and the tongue of English. Now I integrate Powerpoint in my class. Students see their workbook page on the slide, and listen to the words, sentences, or little essay to finish the listening comprehension. Also,Through some file, which not only present the sound, but also show lyrics sentence by sentence, word by word, they learn English songs. They can also know many English stories, via colorful pictures or fantastic little films on the slides. Powerpoint and Desktop are very useful tools in my language teaching.

2. How do I want to use Multimedia in my classroom?
A: In order to enrich my teaching, first, I want to get familiar with some softwares, such as flash, movie maker, and absolutely power point. Besides traditional lecture, I can take some class time to bring them some practice or drill instead a dull repetition. For example, some short stories use repetitive sentence structure. If I show the story with combination of colorful pictures, funny photos, and correct pronunciation, this kind of drill appeals to students and offers visual and audio stimulation at the same time.

3. How do I use a digital camera/scanner or other Multimedia devices in the classroom?
A: I use digital camera quite often. Usually, I collect information, data,
pictures, and photos from sketch books, workshops, trips or something in my daily life by digital camera. Then I see these pictures as materials in my teaching. Take my American trip for example, recently I posted a picture of my greenfield village trip with an essay in my Taiwan blog, after I go back to Taiwan, I will introduce the picture to my students and introduce some sentence structures at the same time.

  2. To Jill:
    You emphasize that students’ pronunciation and the tongue of English by using multimedia.
    I think it is a good idea, and the other hand, you use colorful pictures, funny photos, and correct pronunciation to combine with short story, attracting students’ attention. That is also a nice strategy.
