YouTube (How to use videos as a tool in teaching and learning)

Today we learn about YouTube. This is a video site that available to everyone. We could access it for free. There are a lot of videos on YouTube such as movie trailers, full movies, educational videos, music videos, and many more. YouTube site is a useful medium for teachers that it could be used as a teaching material in classroom. I think it is effective because students love watching videos like cartoons, comedy, and etc. It could draw their attention to focus more to the activities in the class. They would participate in every activities too if it is fun. They also would gain knowledge and improve their language proficiency at the same time.

In class today we were divided into three groups. Our task is to find a video and ways to use the video for the purpose of learning. We chose this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgjDSfbB2ok

Students would watch the video and give their own opinion about the video. They also could create their own plot and the ending of the story in the video. It is actually enhancing the students’ thinking skill and also encouraging them to be imaginative.

Negotiation and decision making skills

            Zapdramatic website (http://www.zapdramatic.com/dramas.htm) exploring gave me a rare experience that I learn how to negotiate and to make a decision on my own since my decision in life is always being influenced by others. There are 3 free videos that could be explored without registering as a member of the website. Throughout the videos, students as in me would sharpen the listening skill and learn communication skill at the same time. We would enjoy it since it is stimulating our senses like visual, listening, and others. It is quite challenging but I found it interesting.

            While watching the videos, we would reach to the certain parts that needed us to make a decision. Then the decision we made would influence the storyline and also the continuity of the story. I just realized that the decision making needs thinking process because we had to consider the options given, the consequences of every option and etc. We could rewind the videos in order to succeed till the end but in real life we obviously could not travel back in time. So we should not rush to decide for something especially when it is related to our future.

            Other than that, we could learn the negotiation and communication skills. We had to deal with people of different character and personalities in the videos as in our life. The ways of communication among people with different standards, character, personalities, situation, and others are differ from each other. We need different approach towards normal people compared to the mentally ill people.

MY MEMORY OF LOVE

Jack Frost

I could smile now since i got my memory back. My little sister’s face kept lingering in my head. It is enough to make me enjoy my daily life. Our childhood was really wonderful. The past memories about my family, friends, and other people came flooded my mind. I felt really good! But there is something weird happen to me these days. I felt lonely. Very lonely! It is not that i do not have friends but...i have been alone for hundred years!

The other guardians are really good to me. Sometimes i went to visit Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Sand Man, and Tooth Fairy. We hang out together, talking till late at night, and feasting altogether. These are wonderful times that i could never forget. We are different and yet we are so similar. We all love those cute kids. We protect them since we are the guardians.

Back to my story, i hardly sleep nowadays. When i close my eyes, i saw an image of a girl. I could not grasp it because it is blurry. I kept thinking about that. I have all of my memories but this one i forgot what it is. Who is that girl? Surely she was not my little sister.

I could get a headache because of this girl. Who is she? I wanted to ask the other guardians but they already had many problems in their hands. I do not want to trouble my friends in any way. So, today i decide to take a walk at the garden. There are not so many people. There are a group of girls that are chattering while walking to school. I looked at them and i saw ‘her’. She was looking straight at my direction. That moment i remembered everything.

We were best friends. We grew up together and understand each other but i loved her. That was my deepest secret. I just could not find courage to blurt it out. Not even incidentally. Then one day she introduced me to her boyfriend and i could not react well to the situation. Bit by bit, i built a wall between us even though i missed her so much. She kept chasing me with her tears and questions but i just could not face her. I was a coward.

That girl resembles her a lot. I came again today and i saw her. She was sitting under a shady tree. I was wondering, was she reborn? So, i kept coming here, staring at her, protecting her all the way. Without knowing, it brought smiles to my stone face.

Alex Tan

            My life is stressful. My parents are always busy with their works. I am lonely because i am the only child. But i have a secret too. I have a special ability to travel through times. A few years ago, i went to the past hundred years ago and i saw this little couple. They are playing by themselves. I was startled because that girl resembles me a lot. Looking them happy together just appease my heart. When they are together, i felt a strange feeling in my heart. They had a sad and tragic ending. The boy died and the girl followed just a few months later because of strange disease.

            A few days ago, i felt that strange feeling again. I looked around but i saw nothing. Unfortunately, the feeling did not left. I am sure that i felt ‘his’ presence somewhere around me but that is impossible. He died hundred years ago! Am i being paranoid? Am i thinking too much? I am here again today, sitting by myself under the shady tree. I felt watched by someone but there is no fear. I could feel the cool breeze engulfed me but inside i felt warm. Somehow i felt protected. I wonder, was he really dead?

Title: Ice lake

i like the story but it is not really funny since i did not even laugh. maybe the story would be more interesting if the story is longer. the characters could be developed more with interesting encounters between Jack Frost and Alice.
