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.

The projects are more creative and varied than mine. So maybe, videotelling could be another creative project for students. Besi...

Being a teacher sometimes is a hard and stressful job. There are many things that make the work hard, for example: making sheet works, watched by the supervisors, having uncooperative co-workers, dealing naughty students, etc. Other that, dealing the class is not an easy job either. To make students cooperative with you could be a hard thing to do. Especially, the student did not take any interest in the subject. They would play with each other, busy by themselves, not pay attention, and disturb the class. We all, of course, have been a student before, and we all know it is hard to focus on the subjects that we didn't like. We will do other else to keep us busy or not bored. At the end, we would not understand anything about the subject and get a bad score in the test. I know that all of this back to the student themselves, but being a teacher we also can help the student focus to the subjects by make the class fun or show something interesting that steal the student’s f...
