2. It is a lot easier and quicker than creating a powerpoint.
3. It is a more unique way to present because many people are not familiar with this type of slide presentation.
4. It is another option teachers can give students to diversify presentations.

Video 1: Violin lesson
Tips for working with video
1. You can make a video with any type of digital camera- you don't need a specific video camera.
2. I made my video with Windows Movie Maker and it was a fairly simple program to work with.
3. Record a lot more footage than you think you are going to need.
4. Video's as a teaching tool, can be beneficial for visual learners.
5. Allow students to choose own subject for movie so that they are working on a project that has meaning to them and is more engaging.
Powerpoints as a learning tool
Powerpoints are a beneficial learning tool for visual learners and would be a useful method for clarifying language for English language learners as well. Teachers can teach students how to create their own powerpoints that they would be able to use for oral presentations. When the text is readily available on a screen, it can help students feel more comfortable with an oral presentation. Powerpoints can make your lessons more engaging and therefore, more fun for the students.
