Chalk_talk vs. Click_screen

     Wow! Lab task for today is super duper interesting. How you gonna manipulate videos or any electronic entertainment as realia in your class? That's the clueless question that kept be discussed among my brain cells. Neuron linkage. How about cell phones? How you gonna use it as an education media in class? What? Answer me. My brain work harder try to digest every single word of the question and process every little information for further answer. Then my brain suggested that, "Why don't you try to ask your students-wanna-be to snap their own picture or even any beautiful scenery around them? Then, ask them to describe briefly about the pictures they snapped. It's better if they are able to make up a short story from it. Trigger their creativity and critical thinking. See?" Thanks my brain for giving out that good idea.

     For lab task, we need to work in a group of three to four and my teammates are Fatin and Aida. We were asked to search for any interesting video and manipulate it to be used as realia in class. Oh my God! They have so many ideas. Then, together we came out with an idea to propose this interesting Brain Divided video as our realia. Here's the URL link. Click and check it out!

Then, we suggest to manipulate this short video in an interesting way in order to cater the educational need. Read and follow the steps written:
1. Play the video twice.
2. Ask students to list most of action verbs and adjectives they viewed from the video.
3. Write an essay of ethics in a date and their options in thinking properly during the first date. State their reasons why should they say so.

I do really think that electronic medium for instance, videos or songs are absolutely such a wise option for teachers to make their lesson more interesting so that students' attention can be attracted and won't be distracted. Everything is just about technology today and that's why technology oriented learning is able to be implemented in school.

  1. Dear Asiah,

    Thank you for you blog entry on the use of video sites (e.g., YouTube) and the use of cellphones in English language learning. I am glad that you found the lab session interesting, and I am glad that you find the use of these technologies (i.e., online video sites and cellphones) in education beneficial. I sincerely hope that you would be able to use them in the future as a teacher, or even as a student. I am sure that by then you will have lots of fun teaching and learning using these technologies.

    I also would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you to have enrolled in my course and to have contributed to the class discussion and to have done your coursework satisfactorily. I hope that you have learned a lot from me and from your other friends, and I am sure that I have learned from you too. I wish you all the best in the future and I hope that you will be successful in whatever you do in life.

    All the best!
