Jamie Keddie’s Videotelling for Video Analysis Activities

          Hi, guys, back with me again in my 4^th post in this blog. In this post, I am going to write about 1 website which is useful for video analysis activities for students (especially for my future students). Okay, check this out!

          Here, from the websites choice given to me, I decided to choose 1 which is Jamie Keddie’s Videotelling. The website is http://lessonstream.org/topic/animals-pets/. This website is very useful for teaching especially when we want to use video as our media in teaching. The steps to use this website are:

1.   Open your internet application (can be Mozilla / Chrome / Flock, etc).

2.  Type the website above.

3.  Click “enter”.

4.  Choose which video do you want to use based on your teaching topic or theme, and also based on your students’ level.

5.  Click the chosen video.

6.  There will be a video to be shown, and there will be the activities to be done.

The reason why I choose this website is that the website is very easy to use, but still useful. There are lots of videos, and each video has its own level of the students (beginner, intermediate, teens, and adults). The benefits of using the website is that we do not need to think for the exercise anymore because there have been the exercise that can be used for the students. However, we as the teacher are still allowed to make or create our own exercise related to the video, topic, and theme.

Honestly, I do not find any weakness of this website. Why? Because I think, this website has been very good for teaching. The website has also been completed by many things related to teaching English, such as grammar, vocabulary, and so on. The website also has a lot of topics that we usually use for teaching English. So, we can easily choose the topic, and then we will get the video(s) and the exercise(s).

Of course, I will use this website for teaching my future students (either school students or private students). I will use this website for teaching when I teach something new, and when I do not want to make my students bored because of the flat teaching method (just looking at the whiteboard, writing what the work is, doing the work as well, then done). Maybe, I will use this website most in teaching grammar, because I very like grammarJ. Besides, grammar has so many categories like tenses, conditional sentences, passive voices, causative have, and etc.

Okay, I think that’s all about my website choice to teach my future students.
