My expectation on this course...

The successful implementation of a lesson depends on the teacher’s creativity to develop resources for classroom. There are many resources that can be designed or adapted through the use of Internet and software. Why designing and adapting resources are important? Definitely, it is to cater the needs of pupils in classroom in order to ensure maximum learning for them. Therefore, I would love to enhance my ICT skills to prepare resources for my future students. Through this ‘Using and developing resources for the ESL classroom’ course, I’m very inquisitive to learn about making simple animation. Animation is a motion video clip that attracts primary school students’ attention as a set induction of a lesson. Hence, it would be very useful for me to have some knowledge on it in order to create my own one for future students. Besides that, I’m really eager to learn about Windows Movie Maker. This is because I have seen short video-clips that are played in classrooms for certain lessons. I always wonder how the videos can be edited with additional words and motions. Therefore, I hope this course would provide me a chance to learn about making video-clips.
