ReplyDeleteAs for me, I like the quality of video and audio, which definitely helps to assimilate the material more effectively.
ReplyDeleteAlso those presentations I`ve wacthed gave great oppotunity to practise active vocabulary during video itself, to repeat some words or phrases a few times and so on.
I found a lot of useful tips in presenting and describing graphs, which seemed so difficult and complicated to me earlier.
As for me I found working with blog very unusual, interesting and useful. It is much better than a routine work with papers...
ReplyDeleteThanks for a really great idea!!!
