arghhh..my brain is eaten by a sharkk!!!


HOho. this week, i've learned about brainshark.WHAT is IT? it is a website where you can create and publish your own power point presentation or other types of documents and add your voice or sounds while the presentation takes place. it usually used as a mean of classroom connected activities where students don't have to meet their teacher or lecturer to listen to a lecture. For example:

this one is mine!! =)))

pssss: i don't like my own voice recorded. it sounds like i have a congested nasal.LOL

As a teacher, i find that this website is very useful to be used in my teaching. How?

1. as a tool of presenting lesson or ideas or information to students, for example my presentation about me. it is a great way to present the lesson for your students even without your presence because you can upload your own power point presentation, then you can add your own voice or sound in order to make the presentation becomes more interesting. In addition, you can add pictures or music to make the presentation become more lively
2. it's not only useful for teachers' presentation, but to students as well. Students can create their own presentation to present it to class both individually or in groups, so this might help to improve students' speaking skills and increase their confidence level
3. it is useful as a listening activity where students can listen to what their teacher's presentation and then answer questions based on the presentation/maybe an extended activity like further discussion after listening to teacher's presentation

What I like about Brainshark??
1. it's free, of COurse! we just have to sign up and have an account. By doing this all our work can be saved as well.
2. you can make it private or public. it depends on you. if you make it public, everyone can view your presentation and and if they are interested they can share it with others
3. we can add other things to our presentation, eg:notes, audio, background music
4. many kinds of format available to be uploaded, not just power point presentation, but document words as well


What I don't like??:
1. after you've uploaded the power point and added the voice, you can't edit it (if there's a mistake about your point). If you want to, you have to start all over again.
2. the presentation cannot be downloaded
3. you can't know who's viewing your blog unless they leave some comments
