Another useful skill for students

Remember last Wednesday I learned how to put Youtube audiovisual into the blog; this week, I learned the skill of putting the film we found on the web sites or the WMV into the Power Point. This is what I dream of for so long because, for students, it is a perfect technique which could make the presentation more colorful and help express the ideas more directly, while for teachers, utilizing such method will be able to make their lessons vivid and interesting.

For example, in a cooking class, when the teachers want to show how to cook a new recipe, they can shoot the cooking film beforehand, and then showing the students the film in class. By ding so, there would be no need for teachers to cook and explain at the same time. Instead, they only have to focus on narrating the cooking procedure. Besides, teachers can give a test or homework to let the students do some practical operation together in class. The students can shoot their cooking films and record them down. What they have to do at the end of the class is to bring their productions, and afterward ,put the films they shoot into their reports and append the reflections on their cooking. Then the teachers will not have to busy around during the class but score the taste of dishes immediately. They can take time to evaluate the processes of students' cooking. Frankly speaking, I just imagine what I could plan with posting audiovisual in PPT, but now I really want to take a cooking lesson...
