Enhancing Learning with Video

Using video in classrooms can be beneficial for student's learning. As a prospective teacher, we can use video in the classroom to introduce a topic, to review content, to provide remediation and to promote enrichment in the future. We always consider that there are different types of learner types such as kinesthetic, auditory and visual learners. I think most important thing is about our job is that defining different types of learners in the classroom and choosing a strategy to being more beneficial for their learning process.

Using video in classrooms has many advantages. We can develop students understanding about the topic by using related video in the classroom. When I was at high school, since technology had not been developed as much as today, we had no enough opportunity to use video or other technological materials to use in the classroom. We had to depend on only our course books and our teachers abstained using bag of tricks in the classroom, but now technology have been developed day by day. We have many opportunities to take advantage of improving students learning process. I think that as a teacher we never abstain using technology such as visual materials, audio and video in the classroom. Using technology as much as help students for learning processes, also help us to improve our proficiency in using technology.

Enhancing Learning with Audio

Altough hearing and listening are interelated, they are not the same thing. Both of them are communication and learnning process. In order to develop student's listening skills, usinf auditorial material migh be beneficial for them. As a teacher, we can use number of techniquies to improve student listenin abilities such as guiding listening, giving directions, asking students to listen for main ideas and using context in listening, analyizing the structure of presentation and distinguishing between revelant and irrevelant irrevelant information. There are types of auditoraial materials which we use in the classroom such as digital audio, analog audio, podcasting, streamin audio and internet radio. Using these material has many advantages. First of all, these are readily available, simple to use and portable. Secondly, these are inexpensive. Once storage devices and equipment have been purchased, there is no additional cost because the storage are erasible and reusable. Third one is that reproductive. We can duplicate audiotapes and digital files with the appropriate software and equipment.Fourth one is that provides verbal message to enhance learning. That is to say, students who have limitated reading ability can learn from audio media by listening and following along with visial and text material. Lastly, auditorial materials offer current information. That is, web-based audio is often a broadcast of live speechs, presentations, or performances. Briefly, using audio in classrooms improves students learning in second language and provides students participation in class.
