There was a time when teachers
only needed chalk and blackboard to teach.
These days, the methods are as
diverse and a teacher has to engage a student’s interest in the best way
possible. This means that there should be varied teaching instruction such as using
multimedia and other forms of authentic instructional materials like art.
I enjoy introducing kids to music
and video that are appropriate for my class topics. Thus, for a big class of 45
Grade 8 students, I need some help when it comes to audio materials. This is
where portable speakers come in. It will help if I have audio and video files
to introduce to the students when there are new topics and lessons to discuss
and it will help to arouse their
interest as well.
Young learners are drawn to music
and videos and perhaps someday I can use these to make their learning
experiences more interactive.
