Videotelling for Class

We all have heard about storytelling, right?
Then what about videotelling? Well, some of you may never hear this. Even my computer doesn't recognize the word. The recognized word "video" and "telling", but not "videotelling" as one word. Okay back to the track!
Videotelling and storytelling are alike, they both have the same idea, which tells a story. What makes them different is:
Storytelling usually does by a person who tells a story with many intonations, expressions, and gestures. Videotelling does them same, but the person also plays a video the story about.
Personally, if I'm the audience, I would prefer watch and listen than just listen.
Videotelling is one from many things to make the class fun. It's also could be a challenge for the children. You know, school these days so different from my school years. The projects are more creative and varied than mine. So maybe, videotelling could be another creative project for students. Besides, it helps students talk more clearly and more expressive.
You know, to tell a story, especially in front of many people could be a challenge for many. An introvert student, like me, find it is hard to speak in front of a large number of people. That what school made for! Make hard things for students!
That... what I think. Before. You know I have a rough time as a student. Then I realized, it actually helping me. If you can not speak fluently in front of the class, in front of your own classmate, then you would have a hard time when you are grown up. Speak in front of your co-workers and your supervisor that won't kind as your teacher is so much harder.
The other thing why I like http://lessonstream.org, the first thing I saw was animals! Animals are like a click bait for me. Even though It's a little bit lagging or maybe there is something wrong with my laptop, I still like it.
Feel free to check it!

    Hello again! I really impressed in how well you organize your explaination. I found it was so easy to understand what you meant and your express it clearly. I do agree that Videotelling would be more fun and interesting for learners and also easier for teachers to explain as the videos provide pictures or realia.

Teaching using Nearpod

I do my first teaching experience last week. I used Nearpod as my application of teaching. The lesson is about Capital letter and apostrophe. Capital letter and apostrophe are very important in writing, without them a writing could be confusing. My lesson is for 5th grade. Even though that capital letter and apostrophe sound easy, it's turn out that people still got confused about it. For example, for capital letter, you should be capitalized every planets' names, but not for sun, earth, and moon, but you should capitalize it if it has "The" at the in front.Without the capital letter, it could be confusing for the reader. For example, surnames that have other meaning, like Brown, Lake, etc. For apostrophe, words that have -s/-es at the end of the word usually have plural meaning. Apostrophe also puts -'s to show that something belongs to someone. So, for example, a word like "Boys", it a plural form of "Boy". To show that the "Boys...

Flipped Classroom

Hai, everyone! Have you heard about flipped classroom? A flipped classroom is a technique which teachers, mostly outside Indonesia, used to teach their children. Like its name, it is contrasted from Indonesian classroom do where students learned the subjects at school and do the assignment at home, but flipped classroom students learn the subject and got the assignment at home by video, and do the assignment at school. It is not common at Indonesia school, so probably many of you never experience it. Neither do I. To be honest, I don't know if flipped classroom will effective at Indonesia schools. It mostly because students will have a hard time to customize with the new teaching, but it would possible for elementary students, which mean should be applied to new students. It sure makes teacher's job easier and hard at the same time. It easier because they don't need to explain it again at school or students has something to do when they didn't come, but also it mak...
